JD Vance calls Canterbury Cathedral exhibit 'ugly'

US Vice-President JD Vance has criticised a new installation by marginalised communities and creatives at Canterbury Cathedral.

The artwork features red graffiti-style writing on ancient stone walls, posing questions to God such as: "Why did you create hate when love is by far more powerful?"

Mr Vance wrote on X that the exhibit had made a "beautiful historical building really ugly".

Others have praised the temporary installation, with Dean of Canterbury David Monteith saying it "intentionally builds bridges between cultures, styles and genres".
