Yes, the art pages have returned! “Mandy’s Royal Artists” was a series of pages featuring the public’s works of art based on a royal theme. Found on Mandy’s British Royalty several years ago, the pages were lost during the website’s transfer to a new server. Now they return in the form of an art blog.
If you have previously entered work but don’t see it here, there is a chance it has disappeared. Please resend.
If you would like to submit anew, please see the “About” page to contact me. You can send a scan of your work (in any medium) to be featured here. No more than 3 please.

Much to my utter amazement, a guardsman for The Queen attacked a student mimicking his patrol.
The student marched alongside the guard, who was on sentry duty outside St. James’ Palace, as his friend filmed his mocking performance.
The soldier suddenly marched over to push him in the back and aimed a kick at him. The pair ran off, citing fear of the bayonet attached to the guard’s SA-80 semi-automatic rifle.
A source said the guard will not be disciplined over the incident, while another Queen’s guardsman said he could understand his colleague’s actions.
The soldier told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “On one hand you can understand him wanting to put a hobnailed size 12 up the guy’s backside for taking the p**s.
“But on the other hand he will be in hot water for losing his cool when he should have ignored it. He should have gone back into his sentry box and just stood guard.”
