A mural of Queen Elizabeth II in Merseyside has been defaced after vandals splattered it with brown paint.
One woman told the Liverpool Echo: ‘Unfortunately this is something that can only make the community realise antisocial behaviour in Moreton isn’t getting any better, and even if there is CCTV which catches whoever in the act, odds on their face is covered.The community has been shocked by the vandalism
The striking artwork, with bright sprays of roses, daffodils, bluebells and pansies, was painted by Wirral artist Alexandra Thompson in May 2022. It was supported by the Moreton In Bloom group, which also planned to plant an orchard, called ‘Lilibet’s Garden’, on Pasture Road near Moreton train station in the Queen’s name.
When the Queen died on September 8, the mural became a focus for public mourning, with floral tributes placed along the bottom of the wall.
