    Bradford-born artist David Hockney unveiled a new piece of work at Westminster Abbey dedicated to the Queen.

    The 81-year-old has been an internationally-renowned painter since the early 1960s when he established himself as one of the leaders of British pop art.

    He has designed a stained-glass window that has been fitted into the abbey to celebrate the Queen’s reign.

    Hockney, who created the design on his iPad, said the hawthorn blossom scene is set in Yorkshire.
