A new mural has appeared on the side of a building in Glossop to honour Dame Vivienne Westwood.

The 81-year-old fashion designer was born in Tintwistle and went to school in the town.

Local artist Deggy, who's behind the street art said: "Honestly I am over the moon with what I have achieved & what I have learned during this process.

"Honouring Vivienne Westwood by putting something cool in the town she grew up in has been a mission of mine for the last twelve months and I managed to make that happen.

"Having grown up in Glossop and recently quitting my day job and going full time as a professional artist and musician, I felt strongly about giving something back to the community, and truly believe this mural could help bring more foot traffic to the town and bring attention to the talented art community in the area.

"The mural in total took 9 full days to complete."
