A shopping centre will be showcasing portraits of the Queen created by children to commemorate her Platinum Jubilee.

Bluewater in Greenhithe, will be hosting the exhibition of artwork by 48 primary school pupils from the Dartford borough.

Each of the 24 schools which entered chose two winners after being invited by MP Gareth Johnson to take part.

James Waugh, centre director at Bluewater, said: "We are delighted to be marking Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee with an art exhibition that the youngest members of our local community have created.

"The winning portraits are fantastic and it is great to see each child’s own interpretation of the Queen shine through."

The exhibition is open from today (Friday) until June 10 and can be found on the Lower Rose Gallery, outside Superdrug.

The shopping centre is also launching new shark-themed electric boats at its adventure golf tomorrow (Saturday) for a nautical adventure just in time for the May half-term.

Guests can also enjoy other activities including the country's longest zipwire Hangloose Adventure, Gravity trampoline park, a dinosaur-themed soft play area and The Very Hungry Caterpillar interactive storytelling trail.
