Graffiti artist Banksy is thought to have made his own tribute to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations - by stenciling this picture of Her Majesty as Aladdin Sane.

The painting shows the crown-wearing monarch sporting a jagged red stripe, just like the 1970s David Bowie creation.

Her Majesty's startling image - which sprang up as the country celebrated her 60 years on the throne - appeared on a wall which has previously featured two Banksy paintings.

The original painting showed a boy with a brown paper bag in his hands sneaking up on a sniper.After that was ruined by rivals, a black and white stencil of David Cameron and Boris Johnson rioting appeared on the wall.

Spectators stopped to stare at the new image, on Upper Maudlin Street, near the Bristol Children's Hospital in the artist's home city.
