The king, a tampon and a samba band - how Bristol's Coronation pub celebrated the King's coronation

Artwork depicting a cartoon image of the newly-crowned King Charles III appearing to advertise a famous brand of tampons, a samba band and a children's puppet show - that's some of how the most aptly-named pub in Bristol marked the Coronation today.

The Coronation pub in Southville, just off Coronation Road, installed the cheeky artwork above the bar a few days ago, and it's been turning heads - upwards - ever since.

The work of art was created by controversial Bristol street artist John D'Oh, who is famous in the city for stunts including dressing life-size skeletons up and posing them as if they are begging in the street, or creating fake Banksy artworks that satire the artist himself.
