A new community mural has been unveiled in St Helens on the Isle of Wight.
The mural, located in the village shelter on the green, was revealed on Sunday, June 7, as part of the St Helens Village Fayre.
Parish councillor Charity Garnett said: "It’s been amazing how many local people, groups and businesses have come together to support this public art project.
"There is so much going on in St Helens, including our new youth club, it was hard to fit everything in.

"We are very grateful to the Stonewood Camp Trust and our other funders for helping make this happen.
"It's been a real team effort and Emma and Hollie of Community Murals have done a wonderful job bringing it all together."
Created by artists Emma and Hollie, the project was funded in part by the Stonewood Camp Trust.
The mural features input from St Helens Primary School’s two oldest classes, who contributed sketches and ideas for the design.
It depicts well-known village landmarks such as the wishing tree, the fort, the village green, and references to the carnival and St Helens Christmas angels.
Businesses and organisations also supported the project.
The mural was unveiled by Dave Collett of the Stonewood Camp Trust.
