There, a sardonic bench tribute was paid to a cheating husband ‘Roger’, with an engraving that reads: “For My Love 06.09.69 - 25.12.23 Husband, Father, Adulterer Yes, Roger, I Knew” Delightful.

Banksy officially claimed ownership of t...

The artwork was painted behind a cut-back tree to look like foliage, with a stencil of a person holding a pressure hose next to it. Before Banksy confirmed the artwork was his, James Peak, who created the BBC Radio 4 series The Banksy Story, told BBC News: “To my mind it looks like a dead cert. But as ever with Banksy, you never quite know until he fesses up by posting it on his website.” He was spot on, as the elusive artist confirmed that he was respo...
