James Blunt praises phone box museum in his honour

Pictures of the museum in Herefordshire were shared on social media

Singer James Blunt has given two thumbs up to a miniature museum created in his honour.

Images of the unassuming landmark, located inside a phone box, were posted by locals who noticed the new offering in rural Herefordshire.

Featured among its displays are top facts about Blunt, including that he used to be in the army but left because he didn't like it.

Sharing the post, the musician said: "Completely forgot to announce the opening of this fantastic cultural experience in glorious Herefordshire. Free entry for both my fans."

Other 'displays' in the museum in Urishay highlight Blunt's skills as a shadow puppeteer and his lack of connection to The Girl on the Train actress Emily Blunt.

Karen Miller, owner of the nearby Nags Head pub in Peterchurch, told BBC Hereford & Worcester she was aware the landmark had become the talk of the town.

Karen Miller won't be visiting the museum

"I knew it was on Facebook because somebody told me," Ms Miller said.

But she showed less enthusiasm than Blunt himself, saying she wasn't particularly interested in going inside.

"I like his only song that I know 'you are beautiful' but no not really," she said when asked if she wanted to visit.

"I'll drive past it but that's as far as it goes."

Jedda says she might have a look

Local woman Jedda, who works at Golden Valley Store and Post Office, added she too was not a big Blunt fan, but found his music fine to listen to.

"It's not very far, I might as well take a look," she added.

Blunt was in the Army and left in 2002 to pursue a career in music.

He scored a worldwide hit with You're Beautiful in 2005 before going on to sell more than 20 million albums.

He has gained a cult following on his social media for witty comebacks and putdowns.
