Queens face beamed onto Buckingham Palace


A giant image of Queen Elizabeth II has been beamed onto Buckingham Palace as part of the monarch's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

The montage was made up of 200,000 self-portraits by British schoolchildren.

Children across the UK were asked to create a self-portrait in any form they wanted.

Digital pictures were then taken of their creations and used to form the royal montage.

The "Face Britain" project was created by Prince Charles' Foundation for Children and the Arts. Children aged between 4 and 16 years old took part.

As well as the projection on to Buckingham Palace the images will be simultaneously screened for 24 hours on big screens in 18 public locations across the UK.
