Art group create special Jubilee Flag to celebrate 70 years of history

Stratford Editorial 2nd Jun, 2022   0

MEMBERS of Kineton Art Group came together this month to create a special version of the Union flag commemorating various aspects of the Queen 70 year reign.

The four sectors of the flag represent highlights of technology, art and communication, buildings and sport over the past 70 years, depicted in watercolour and inks by more than 20 members of the Art Group.

They span from the conquest of Everest to the London Eye, Concord to the Angel of the North: a wide range of achievements celebrated alongside some of Her Majesty’s favourite Corgis and Fell ponies.

The finished artwork is being displayed over the Jubilee holiday weekend in a shop window on Bridge Street,  where it can be enjoyed along with 70 other window displays spread throughout the village, each celebrating a year of the Queen’s reign.
