The Platinum Jubilee celebrations continued in Leicestershire with Countesthorpe holding many events including a Yarnbomb which featured both a postbox topper and a life sized knitted version of the Queen sat on a bench with her Corgi companion beside her.

  As the country celebrated the Queens Platinum Jubilee many villages marked it with a Yarnbomb created by the community, Cosby was no exception with a life sized knitted version of the Queen herself complete with Corgi dogs on a walk. Over on the nook a post box topper featured representations of the gold state carriage a guard and a very cute corgi, the Yarnbomb was created by the Cosby Crafters.

A look at the Platinum Jubilee Yarnbomb created in the village of Barwell by the Knutty Knitters group to mark HRH The Queen's 70 Years on the throne. We see bollard toppers featuring the Queen in her various colorful outfits, some very cute Corgi dogs and a lifesize crown with it`s many hand sewn Jewels making it shine just like the real thing.

With 48 large scale murals across the city Bring The Paint returned bigger and better than ever to Leicester in 2022. In a celebration of graffiti culture, artists from around the world descended on Leicester to bring their unique styles to various locations throughout the East Midlands city. My film features a sample of the festival showing the artists at work and whilst I've not been able to include all 48 works I hope it gives a flavor of the pieces being created by the talented artists. Look out for new takes on well known characters and original works by world class artists and even a 3D piece in the Highcross Shopping Center.
