Cramlington’s three thousand portraits of The Queen create a wonderful Jubilee tribute

Three thousand portraits of Her Majesty have been hung in Cramlington as the town’s residents create the ‘Cramlington Jubilee Line’ art installation.

The images have been hung on washing lines and walls in Manor Walks Shopping Centre, the Community Hub and Cramlington Town Council office, creating a giant community artwork.

Cramlington Town Mayor Loraine De Simone said: “The Cramlington Jubilee Line is a wonderful tribute from the residents of Cramlington to Her Majesty The Queen. The portraits are just fantastic!

“Every school in Cramlington and many community groups have been involved with this Town Council project.”

“Listening to the comments as people walk by the pictures is wonderful!”

“I must thank the staff at Manor Walks Shopping Centre and Northumberland Communities Together for letting us display the Jubilee Line in their public space and being very helpful when the cards were being hung.”

“I urge people to take a few minutes to stop and look at the pictures – they make me smile and feel full of Jubilee happiness!”

“Three thousand thanks to everyone who took part in this great community tribute to our wonderful queen.”
