A mural of Her Majesty The Queen has appeared almost-overnight on a Welsh town high street. Electrical engineer-turned-street artist Steve 'Jenks' Jenkins knew he wanted to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II as soon as he heard of her sad passing last week, so dashed to Bridge Street in Port Talbot, a street where graffiti and street-art is legally permitted, and soon began painting his mural.
After putting in around 17 hours of painting over the weekend, Jenks finished his tribute mural on Sunday - and it's already grabbed the attention of hundreds of people from Port Talbot and beyond. For more stories about news in Port Talbot, go here.
Explaining what inspired him to paint the mural of Her Majesty, 48-year-old Jenks said: "She was so well thought of, she had an amazing length of service, so I wanted to honour that. I started on Friday, did more painting on Saturday and went back on Sunday to finish a few bits off.
