Images of the Queen projected into Switzerland’s night sky in honor | world news
As a tribute to the late monarch, images of the Queen were projected into the Swiss sky.
The moving project entitled Traveling To The Stars – The Queen Of England On The Way To Heaven was created by Swiss light artist Gerry Hofstetter.
Sit against the clouds in the night sky, photos included the Queen in a blue coat and hat holding hands with Prince Philip in his ceremonial military uniform, and a close-up of the Queen wearing pink and laughing.
Hofstetter worked on the project in partnership with the British Embassy in Bern, having previously worked with them to project royal imagery onto iconic Swiss mountains during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
