To celebrate the year of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics, the world's largest image of the Union Flag in East Cowes, Isle of Wight is being repainted. The giant hangar doors at Venture Quays, home to the Artemis Offshore Academy, were first painted in 1977 to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. Now 35 years on this world-famous, 46m x 12m permanent image of the Union Flag will be revitalised, commissioned by the Artemis Offshore Academy, to celebrate a glorious year for Great Britain in 2012.

My name is Chris Cowley and I am an IOW based wedding photographer. Hailing from a background of festival and music portraiture I’ve photographed headline bands from Madness to Lily Allen. Whilst shooting the festivals I quickly learnt that it was being outside capturing the excitement, emotion and the atmosphere that I enjoyed which is why I LOVE photographing weddings!

"It is impossible to imagine a prettier spot" - such were the words of Queen Victoria after her first visit to Osborne on the Isle of Wight. No trip to the island would be complete without a visit to this royal seaside palace where Queen Victoria lived with her beloved Prince Albert and their nine children. Take an intimate glimpse into Queen Victoria’s family life as you tour the nursery and private rooms of Victoria and Albert. Marvel at the magnificence of the Royal Apartments including the sumptuous drawing and dining rooms and the richly decorated Indian-inspired Durbar Room. Admire the stunning view from the terraces across the Solent – said to remind Prince Albert of the bay of Naples and stroll through Osborne’s extensive grounds. Don’t miss the miniature Swiss Cottage, built to teach the royal children the art of household management! Explore Queen Victoria's private beach, open to the public for the first time. "We have quite a charming beach to ourselves," Victoria wrote in 1845 and it was here that the Queen regularly bathed and where her children learned to swim. Enjoy traditional seaside entertainment including Punch and Judy shows throughout the summer holidays.
