The artwork has also been used on the cover of the outside the US.

Sir Peter Blake created this artwork of the Queen for the Radio Times. It was commissioned through the Central Illustration Agencty to commemorate her Diamond Jubilee, with readers able to pick up unframed for £49 or framed £100 versions via the .
