The artist Mr Doodle has unveiled his latest work near Ashford town centre.

The design, which Ashford Borough Council (ABC) said was one of the world's "longest artworks", is 203m (666ft) long and was painted in one day.

The painting is on the black hoardings at the junction of Beaver Road, Avenue Jacques Faucheux and Victoria Road, one of the busiest entrances to the town centre.
