The government is offering every public body in the country—from schools to fire stations—the chance to obtain and display a copy of the official portrait of King Charles III.
The portrait, taken at Windsor Castle last year by photographer Hugo Burnand, shows His Majesty wearing a Royal Navy uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet and official medals and decorations. A copy of the portrait is being offered to public authorities across the United Kingdom free-of-charge as part of a scheme to celebrate the new reign.
Richard Fuller MP said:
We have a proud tradition of placing a portrait of the Monarch in our public buildings.
The accession and coronation of His Majesty The King marked a new chapter in our national story and the UK Government is providing a free portrait of His Majesty to public bodies across the country.
Applications are open for eligible institutions - including schools, courts, police forces and fire and rescue services who can apply here:
In February, the scheme will be extended to include town, parish and community councils and Ministry of Defence-sponsored cadet forces.
