Pavement artist Julian Beever puts finishing touches to Olympic torch design in Leicester
Pavement artist Julian Beever put the finishing touches to his city centre artwork last night.
The Melton-born master has been commissioned to produce a 3D image to mark the Olympic torch relay passing through the county.
Julian, 52, a former art teacher, who is now asked to create artworks all around the world, said: "I've enjoyed doing it and lots of people have been stopping and chatting.
"The work is pretty close to what I'd planned. There are things I like a lot about it, but other things not so much, which is how I usually feel."

He said yesterday's final effort had gone smoothly after Thursday's storms, which required his team to close up the marquee above the artwork and hope the rain water did not get high enough to damage the chalk image.
He said: "We had a river going by. It was eventful."
