PORTSMOUTH Cathedral has been decked out with colourful bunting to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with a little help from city art students.

Art students from City of Portsmouth College joined with St Jude’s Church of England Primary School pupils to take part in two-day community event The Big Draw.

Student Harmony Ordish, 18, said: ‘I’ve never been in a cathedral and it’s interesting because the space has a really calming feel to it.’

Reverend Canon Kathryn Percival said: ‘All of us at the cathedral have really enjoyed hosting The Big Draw – it’s been a fantastic combination of art, creativity, and relationship-building – and at the end of it all, we have beautiful bunting round our nave.

‘We have all been so impressed by the quality of the art and design work – and by all the thought and concentration that has gone into the project. Just passing through the Cathedral and seeing that focus and care going into their work was wonderful.’
