A mural depicting lifeguards, dogwalkers, hospitality workers and traffic wardens has been unveiled covering a three-storey building in a Cornish town.
The installation has been painted on a bar at Gover Lane in Newquay and is part of the MUQY Street Art Walking Trail.
The trail began in 2024 and this is the fourth mural to be created in the town centre, with various people set amid a scene of giant bouncing beach balls.
A spokesperson for Love Newquay said there had been "major enthusiasm" for the project.

The new artwork was created by renowned large-scale mural artist and designer, Josephine Hicks.
Ms Hicks has previously worked with brands such as Clarks and Bombay Sapphire.
Her Newquay mural has been inspired by local themes and stories, and was delivered by Newquay BID and funded by Cornwall Council's Town Delivery Fund.
