The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge unveiled the painting The Canadians Opposite Lens by celebrated artist Augustus John 1878–1961.


The impressive painting, 12 metres 40 feet wide and 3.7 metres 12 feet high, is one of the key works originally commissioned by Lord Beaverbrook, the founder of the Canadian War Memorials Fund. The work is also the last of these original commissions to return to Canada.
