Cold War Steve Bournemouth beach artwork covered up
Satirist Cold War Steve rose to fame with online collages combining images from politics and pop culture alongside EastEnders actor Steve McFadden. His latest work, a 25-metre curved windbreak on Boscombe Beach, Bournemouth, is his biggest yet. But only one side of it will be on show to avoid "causing further division".

Cold War Steve has become a Twitter sensation thanks to his satirical collages that capture the angst and chaos of politics and pop culture. The artist - real name Christopher Spencer - has inspired a group of students from Greater Manchester to make their own collages, and has collaborated with them to make a new Cold War Steve image at the Whitworth Art Gallery. Spencer and his teenage collaborators told BBC Breakfast about their creations.
