An immersive art display depicting members of the Royal Family has lit up Canterbury Cathedral.

The Crown And Coronation exhibition is a light and sound show that aims to bring the spectacle and significance of the crown jewels to life, the cathedral has said.

The artwork depicts past and present members of the Royal Family.

Members of the public can walk through the cathedral in Kent to view imagery, projections and footage of more than 1,000 years of royal history, including monarchs King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth II.

Each installation lasts about five to eight minutes, while the whole experience is expected to last between 45 and 60 minutes.

The installation is part of a UK-wide tour of famous landmarks which began at the Tower of London in November last year.
