A window (L) that is going to be replaced by a stained glass window designed by artist David Hockney “It will be wonderful to have in the Abbey the work of this internationally-renowned contemporary British artist who has been honoured by The Queen with membership of the Order of Merit, which is in Her Majesty’s personal gift,” he added.The window is due to be unveiled in June 2018, to coincide with the opening of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries in the Abbey’s medieval triforium, which runs 70 ft above the Abbey floor.The last commission for a window at the Abbey came in 2013, in honour of the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation.

David Hockney is to design a stained glass window in Westminster Abbey to celebrate the Queen’s reign, years after he declined to paint her because he was too busy.The British artist has been given “free rein” to design a window, saying he was planning to create a “landscape full of blossom that’s a celebration every year.”The tall 20ft x 6ft window, one of the church’s few remaining clear ones, will be known as The Queen’s Window and is in the north transept of the gothic Abbey. Hockney plans to create a cherry blossom window in honour of the Queen

Although Hockney will now design the window, it will be transferred into stained glass by the Barley Studio in York, who will work closely with him.The Dean of Westminster, the Very Rev Dr John Hall, came up with the idea of approaching Hockney to help celebrate the Queen’s reign.The artist accepted the commission after travelling from his LA home in the summer to be shown the window by the Dean. Dr Hall said he was delighted with the plan. The cost is being covered by two anonymous benefactors. Westminster Abbey said Hockney would largely have artistic control, with guidance from the Dean and Chapter and the Westminster Abbey Fabric Commission who deal with changes to the historic building.”He’s given a very elliptical hint. We’re as interested as everyone else to see what he comes up with. He will have pretty much free rein because he’s David Hockney,” an Abbey spokesman said.”The Queen is certainly aware of the proposal and there will be continual briefings from us.” Bradford-born Hockney, widely considered to be the country’s greatest living artist, is well known for experimenting with different ways of making art – drawing, painting and using the iPad.In 2011, he told how he had been invited to paint a portrait of the Queen but turned it down by telling her staff: “I was very busy painting England actually.”He finally painted the monarch in 2012, composing an image of the Diamond Jubilee river pageant on an iPad as he watched it on TV.His piece showed the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh as tiny figures with their backs to the viewer as they headed towards Tower Bridge on the royal barge. 
The finished window will be unveiled in 2018

“Over 15 million Britons are living with a long term health condition, and busy lives and desk jobs make it difficult to live healthily.”But just making a few small changes will have significant benefits to people’s health now and in later life.”Professor Kevin Fenton, director of health and wellbeing at the Government body, said pressured lives meant they often forget to stay healthy.”People are busy with work, with families, with the daily grind and sometimes their own health is the least of their priorities,” he said.Dan Howarth, head of care at Diabetes UK, added: “We know that people often bury their heads in the sand when it comes to their general health but the consequences of doing nothing can be catastrophic.” Want the best of The Telegraph direct to your email and WhatsApp?
