A "Britpop-inspired" mural in honour of Queen Elizabeth II has been created by a South Yorkshire artist.Staff at the venue said since it was unveiled it had become a visitor attraction, with people taking photos of themselves in front of the artwork.He said he had spent two hours painting the mural - a black-and-white picture of Her Majesty against the union flag - in the rain on Friday following the news of the Queen's death the previous day.
He said he wanted to create a memorial to the Queen inspired by the famous Britpop explosion in the 1990s, which included bands such Oasis, Blur and Sheffield's very own Pulp. Mr Staveley said one of his strong childhood memories was a visit by the Queen to South Yorkshire which he attended with his mum.Ryan MacDonald, general manager at the Steel Yard Kelham, said: "We are quite big royalists down here. Everyone is loving [the artwork]."
The team at the venue was left "devastated" by the Queen's death and Mr Staveley's artwork was "here to stay", Mr MacDonald said.
