Actor Sir Patrick Stewart's family approves of new West Yorkshire mural

Artist Steve Braun painted a monochrome mural of actor Sir Patrick Stewart on the side of a craft beer shop in Mirfield, West Yorkshire.

The artwork serves as a tribute to the performer, who died at the age of 86. The actor's nieces, Anne Hirst and Julie Kershaw, visited the site to see the tribute. They expressed their appreciation for the mural, stating that it captured his likeness well.

They also shared memories of their uncle, noting that while he became a famous figure in films like Star Trek and X-Men, he remained a supportive family member who never judged them during childhood games. The artist chose the location after receiving responses from local businesses on social media. Tom Coates, the co-owner of Sup Mirfield, said the shop wanted to find a way to honor the actor's legacy. Braun plans to create another mural at a nearby pub.
