'Proud Brit' gets tattoo of Queen in epic six-hour inking session

A royal fan has paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II by getting a tattoo of the late monarch on his leg. Graham Knowles, 49, decided he was going to get the tattoo when he heard about the passing of the Queen.

He said: "With everything going on right now, it felt it was the right thing to do. I am just very proud to be British. I am so proud of the Queen and what she did."

It isn't Graham's first time under the needle. He also has a tattoo of Winston Churchill on his left leg. Brendan Roberts was Graham's artist of choice for that patriotic tattoo as well. Graham said he has "plenty of tattoos, mainly of Bolton Wanderers or England."
