A sand artist has revealed her own unique tribute to the Queen - after creating a giant postage stamp portrait on a beach. Claire Eason, 57, spent four hours painstakingly etching the amazing 65-feet image in May for the Platinum Jubilee.
But she has now revealed the final images from the day, showing the approaching tide washing over the portrait, in a "fitting goodbye" to the monarch, who died aged 96 on Thursday. Retired GP Claire used a garden rake to create the portrait at Bamburgh beach in Northumberland.
Mum-of-two Claire, of Sunderland, said: "As I was filming with the drone the tide came in and I captured it just touching the image and I thought this looks like a goodbye. I didn't put it out at the time because it didn't match the celebratory feeling of the jubilee.
