Queen's window by David Hockney installed at Westminster Abbey

Love it!






The design is alleged to mirror the Queen’s “craving for the countryside”

A David Hockney-designed stained glass window celebrating the Queen’s reign has been revealed at Westminster Abbey.The Queen’s Window within the north transept replaces one of many constructing’s few remaining clear home windows.Hockney, who created the design on his iPad, mentioned the hawthorn blossom scene is ready in Yorkshire.
Westminster Abbey mentioned the end result “displays the Queen as a countrywoman and her widespread enjoyment of, and craving for, the countryside”.
Hockney mentioned: “The iPad is back-lit like a window, it is a pure factor to make use of.”
“I learnt one thing about glass. It was a problem.”




The Queen has not seen the completed window, however an optimistic Hockney mentioned: “I hope she’ll prefer it. I am certain she is going to.”
