Paul Beard, a music fan from Herefordshire is the lucky recipient

Abundance London has revealed the winner of the competition to win the fantastic image that Sir Peter Blake has created for The Chiswick Timeline, the new mural which is to go under the railway arches outside Turnham Green station.

Entrants were asked to name all the stars that Sir Peter has lined up in front of the Empire Theatre.The draw was held on Sunday 11th June at Bedford Park’s Green Day.

They had 318 entries, of which 171 got over 35 correct and went into the draw. Sir Peter Blake drew the winning ticket, which was Paul Beard, a music hall fan from Herefordshire. Congratulations to him!

Abundance would like to thank everyone who participated, especially those who sent in a little donation with their entry, and everyone who is supporting the mural. Particular thanks of course to Sir Peter for his amazing support. Also many thanks to everyone at the Bedford Park Fair - fantastically organised as always. Torin and his team are really outstanding. Vanessa Costello ran a whole stall in support of the Timeline with her rare antiquities and we are overwhelmed by such generosity and support.
