Sorry Michael I didn't get a photo of the banner although I did stop and admire the extra large size print of your drawing.

I am putting together a new portfolio of my artwork and would like to include details of how the NTET came to publish prints of my drawing of the Duke of York. A photograph of the banner would look really good alongside the story of the creation of the artwork. Also, I want to communicate the message of how significant the reaction to the picture has been, in relation to living with a long term illness.

A number of people in the NHS who help me have said I should put my story in writing. This is not for my benefit but in the hope that anyone newly diagnosed with an illness can see it does not mean the future is bleak - with the right attitude goals can still be achieved.

For the record; I have lots of new drawings on the go, all featuring steam on the road and in agriculture. I will post threads on some if not all of them here on T-T as they become finished.

Thanks for the reply David. I have a couple of photos of the banner taken by Nick - on his phone I think. They are good pictures and certainly useable - I was just wondering if you had taken any after you posted other photos taken in the marquee.
