Artist pays tribute to Queen with mural drawn in sand on beach

An artist paid his respects to the Queen in a less traditional way - with an incredible 70 square foot mural drawn on the sand of a Cornish beach. Father-of-two Harry Maddox, 63, creates all kinds of land art - and his latest project was in memory of Queen Elizabeth II.

Harry, who lives in Bodmin, Cornwall, visited Tregirls Beach in Padstow on September 15 to create a 70ft x 70ft drawing on the sand. Taking four-and-a-half hours, it read '1926-2022 Elizabeth. Thank you Ma'am.'

The stunning design is one of Harry's many natural artworks - along with other rock balancing pieces and murals.
