Queen Visits Leicester

Last month, The Queen made a stop off in our home town of Leicester to tour some of our newest buildings. Six years since she last paid visit to the country, her Royal Highness came a visit some of Leicesters latest creations - the Highcross Shopping Centre, The Curve theatre and a new Leicester University building. Arriving by her royal carriage in Leicester's London Road, the visit took her past our HQ a few minutes up the road.

At WHoArtNow however, we were most interested in her stop, and official opening of the Leicester Grammar School Complex just outside the city Centre.

Back in the summer of 2008, the headmaster of LGS contacted us with a brief. In moving from their city centre location to a new purpose built site meant they would be losing a lot of their history. We were commissioned to photograph some of the older historic parts of LGS, and produce some Canvas Art to hang in the reception.

As you can see from the image (right) the finished product looked fantastic hanging over the gap. The head master and all of the staff were very happy with the quality of the art work. Sadly though, we could not get a comment from the Queen or Prince Phillip!
