Mural of Queen Elizabeth II will be painted in Nuneaton on Friday

The new artwork will be on the Three Lions wall.

A mural of Queen Elizabeth II is going to be created in Nuneaton this week to honour the life of our longest-serving Monarch.

On Friday, artists will be at the iconic Three Lions wall on Bull Ring at 12 pm and residents are invited to watch the artwork being created.

James Bennett, director of the Reel People Community Group, said: “It is a sad time for the county so if there is anything that can lift the spirits and bring some colour and light to the community then that's what the Reel People Community Group is all about. So hopefully people will really enjoy and engage with it. It's another special piece for the town."

The portrait will be alongside the footballers Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Gareth Southgate.

The Williams family created the first mural after England’s success in getting to the final of Euro 2020. 

They have now joined with the Reel People Community Group to create a piece dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II.

James Bennett, said: "Two phenomenal midlands-based artists are both getting the opportunity to create a bit of magic."
