The artist commissioned a professional stone carver to inscribe a British royal crest and an apology into the separation wall itself which reads “Er SORRY”.
“The British didn’t handle things well here — when you organise a wedding, it’s best to make sure the bride isn’t already married,” said the artist.
Torn and burnt-out British flags were strung up across the street while 50 local children wearing bullet ridden Union Jack hats were seated along a long table
The children live in nearby refugee camps as their grandparents were displaced as a result of the events Lord Balfour set in motion.
