Pupils from three schools in Sheffield are among those taking part in a massive collaborative art project.

The self-portraits of four- to 16-year-olds will be combined to make a montage of the Queen which will then be projected onto the front of Buckingham Palace. Fir Vale School in Owler Lane, St Catherine’s Primary School in Firshill Crescent, above, and Owler Brook Primary School in Wensley Street have all taken part.

The project has been created by The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts to celebrate the nation’s children and young people during the lead up to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics and Paralympic Games.
