MARY ROSE COMMISSION

COMMISSION FROM THE MARY ROSE MUSEUM, PORTSMOUTH, UK
TO MAKE A TACTILE COPY OF THE 16th CENTURY ANTHONY ROLL
PAINTING OF HENRY VIII's MARY ROSE WARSHIP.

(The official unveiling is still to be announced)

Prior to handing over the commission, 3 of my grandchildren (Hannah-Mae, Sam and Rhiannon) were asked to paint the final touches to individual flags.  The Mary Rose Museum is part of their heritage and, for this reason, I felt it to be very important that they place their mark on this historic painting.
