'Royally Big Portrait' of King Charles unveiled ahead of coronation

A giant digital portrait of the King has been unveiled on the screens at Outernet in London ahead of the coronation.

BBC Children In Need partnered with artist Sam Barnett to launch The Royally Big Portrait, which contains hundreds of thousands of individual images of Charles drawn by members of the public from across the UK. Visitors are able to locate their individual drawing within the portrait using iPads and see their personal contribution on wraparound screens in the space’s Now Building near Tottenham Court Road until May 8.

Alexandra Payne, head of creative at Outernet London, told the PA news agency: “We think the King and the entire royal family are going to be really thrilled with what we’ve managed to achieve here at Outernet London with BBC Children In Need. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the coronation and really allows all the audiences coming down to interact with the King on our immersive 360-scale interactive screens.
