Overview

• On Thursday in south London, the Queen formally opened the Artplay Pavilion and the gallery’s new sculpture garden.
• She squeezed into an original red telephone box with eight pupils aged six and seven from Dulwich Village Infants' School.
• The phone box on the grounds reflects Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s K2 design, which drew inspiration from the gallery’s mausoleum.
• The new spaces are part of the Open Art £5 million development, with the sculpture garden free for the public.
• Camilla explored the play areas, declined a slide with the remark "I'm not going down that slide," and viewed works including Harold Offeh’s Hail the New Prophets and the Lovington sculpture meadow.
