This afternoon, a 21-gun salute was carried out by Headquarter Company (Thompson’s Battery) of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment in order to mark the Queen’s Accession to the throne 61 years ago.
Yesterday evening, Mayor Tony Lima was invited to unveil a portrait of Miss World 2009, Miss Kaiane Aldorino, painted by veteran accomplished Gibraltatian Artist, Ambrose Avellano. The piece includes a full-length portrait of Kaiane wearing Gibraltarian designer, John Galliano’s dress shortly before finishing her reign as Miss World in 2009. The canvas also includes a close up of Kaiane’s face and her title.
Commenting on the painting, Kaiane noted that the gesture had meant a lot to her and thanked Ambrose for immortalising her in the beautiful painting.
