Vandals spark anger after targeting mural of late Queen

A colourful mural of the late Queen Elizabeth II has been defaced by vandals.

Brown paint has been splattered across the face of the former monarch on the mural, which sits on the side of a building on Hoylake Road, Moreton. The defacement has sparked anger among local people, who had it commissioned to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee last summer.

One woman said: "Unfortunately this is something that can only make the community realise antisocial behaviour in Moreton isn't getting any better, and even if there is CCTV which catches whoever in the act, odds on their face is covered. Such a sad thing to see, especially for the artist."
