Queen goes nude in new pub sign unveiled at The Victoria in Clifton

Queen Victoria has been stripped of her clothing in a nude pub sign that's appeared outside a Bristol ale house. The Victoria pub in Clifton has unveiled the cheeky new signage, which will only be in place temporarily as part of a national campaign.

The traditional signage showing the monarch in a regal gown has been reimagined by Bristol artist Samuel Rees Price, keeping her crown and veil but showing a lot more skin. It's part of an eleven-piece series called the Pub Renaissance, which has seen pub signage around the UK stripped back - with even King Charles' torso tastefully on display at 'The Kings Head' pub.

Stella Artois has curated the collection, featuring works from renowned artists including Reuben Dangoor and Heath Kane. Pub landlord and former model Jodie Kidd is also supporting the campaign, by posing in the buff for a new sign that will temporarily hang outside her West Sussex establishment The Half Moon.
