LOCAL artist Sue Skyrme has re-created Pablo Picasso's powerful anti-war painting, Guernica, at Warren Farm in Bringsty.

The project was inspired by the death of Bromyard soldier, Rifleman William Aldridge, in Afghanistan, and the painting will remain on display until next year in memory of Rifleman Aldridge.

Sue Skyrme has also painted a portrait of the young soldier, and there is a collection at Warren Farm in his memory for Help for Heroes.
