The Prince's Foundation for Children & the Arts is behind the project to celebrate young people before the Diamond Jubilee and London's Olympic and Paralympic Games.

​

This project has been awarded the Guinness World Record for most artists working on the same art installation. More than 200,000 self-portraits have been used to create the picture of the Queen, with Her Majesty’s approval.

The entire front of the palace is being covered with animated images and effects, including two 15x10 metre images of the Queen, through the use of 24 video projectors.

Face Britain is about empowering children to explore their identity creatively.
