Proposal to complete the Armada paintings discussed
Following a generous donation to the House of Lords by Mark Pigott, KBE, a proposal to complete the series of Armada paintings was discussed.
The House of Lords Works of Art Committee agreed that the funds should be used to commission the remaining five Armada paintings for the Prince's Chamber and selected Anthony Oakshett as the lead artist.
Her Majesty The Queen gave her permission to hang the Armada paintings in the Prince's Chamber at the Palace of Westminster.
