The Grand Eggstravaganza

Designed by the likes of Mulberry and the Chapman Brothers, they’re being auctioned off to raise money for Action for Children and Elephant Family. Favourites include the furry one, the one with all the bowties and the surreal one with Maggie Smith on it.

Sir Peter Blake’s Sgt Pepper remake

It’s the 45th birthday of The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album this year as well as the 80th birthday of Sir Peter Blake, who created the famous album artwork. To celebrate, he’s remade it. The original crowd of The Beatles’ heroes has been replaced with cultural icons chosen by Blake. It’s an insight into who inspires the Pop Artist, even if it’s not a very ethnically diverse crowd.
