Louts have been slammed after graffitiing their tag over a mural to the Queen at a public park, sparking a furious reaction with the hunt on to find the culprit.
The artwork was defaced days after the death of the monarch was announced by Buckingham Palace with the name 'Brandon' sprayed at the top.
The yobs have been branded "vile" for the shameful scribble at Gornal Rec in Dudley, west Midlands, as locals hunt for the culprits.
The mural at the Black Country park had been made to commemorate the Queen's historic Platinum Jubilee earlier this year as locals came together to celebrate her Majesty's 70 years on the throne.
However, following the death of the 96-year-old sovereign last Thursday, ugly graffiti has appeared on the colourful tribute, BirminghamLive report.
A spokesperson for Friends of Abbey Street Park wrote on Facebook : "To say we are fuming is an understatement! On our litter pick this morning we were confronted by the images below.
"We are in national mourning for the loss of our dear Queen and some vile specimens of life have decided it would be a great idea to destroy Gornal's tribute to her late Majesty on reaching her Platinum Jubilee by signing their names in the mural. How dare you.
"If you see your child's name in the pictures, ask them where they were when they went out over the weekend. Someone knows who has done this."
A 10-day period of national morning has followed the death of the Queen.
The UK's longest-serving monarch will lie in state for four days at Westminster Hall in London from 5pm on Wednesday until 6.30am the following Monday.
More then one million mourners are expected to queue up and see the coffin, with people being warned they may have wait overnight.
The Queen's coffin will be taken from Westminster Hall to nearby Westminster Abbey, where the funeral service will be held.
The funeral is breaking hundreds of years of royal tradition as it will be the first time such a service will be held at Westminster Abbey for a British monarch.
George II's funeral in 1760 was the last time it happened.
Funerals for the country's kings and queens have normally been held at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
The Queen will be buried about 20 miles away in the Royal Vault at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle in Berkshire.
She will be laid to rest next to her late husband Prince Philip as well as her sister Princess Margaret and parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
