BROADWAY artist Jeremy Houghton has created his own tribute to the Queen in celebration of her 90th birthday this week by preparing a collection of artwork for a special exhibition.

Titled 'All the Queen's Men', the exhibition will take place at Trinity House, in Broadway, and will feature contemporary work that Mr Houghton has completed over the last few years, including work for the Queen herself.

He first met the Queen in 2009 when he was commissioned to paint a portrait of her presenting a Standard to mark the 500th anniversary of the Gentlemen at Arms; the world’s oldest regiment.

Four years later, he went on to be artist in residence at Highgrove, Prince Charles' Gloucestershire home, and in 2014, at Windsor Castle.

Mr Houghton, who exhibits internationally, was an official artist at the London 2012 Olympic Games and this year has taken on two more sporting roles, as the official artist for the “Race Against Time” to the North Pole and for Ben Ainslie Racing as the team starts its journey to win next year’s America’s Cup.

His association with the British car industry has been varied. In 2013, he was the tour artist for the Aston Martin Centenary Tour of Europe; two years later, he was artist in residence at Goodwood and this year he is the official artist for the 40th anniversary of James Hunt’s spectacular F1 World Championship win.

Born and bred in Broadway, he is looking forward to showcasing his work of around 25 pieces in oil on canvas, watercolour and sketches as his way of acknowledging the special occasion of the Queen's birthday.

"I have been able to work with the Queen and the royal family on two occasions, in 2009 and 2014, and on each occasion it has been a massive privilege to get so see behind closed doors and to get to know her. She is a remarkable person who, when not in the public eye, is a warm and humorous lady, mother, grand mother and great-grandmother with a vast knowledge.

"I am looking forward to opening the exhibition as a mark of respect to her and her achievements."

Mr Houghton trained at The Slade School of Fine Art and the University of Provence. He is one of Britain’s leading sporting and military artists, having exhibited in some of the most prestigious galleries in Europe, the United States, South Africa and India,

All the Queen’s Men” will be open at Trinity House, at 20 High Street, Broadway, from June 9 to 19 to coincide with the fourth biennial Broadway Arts Festival.
