The Turner Prize winner said: “It can’t be right that people go hungry in the capital city of such a rich country as the UK.” Sir Antony donated an artwork, titled Attend, which sold to a private buyer for £400,000. Last month, contemporary artist Henry Hudson announced he would sell prints of digital sketches he drew of recipients and volunteers linked to our Help the Hungry campaign, which can be bought online until 18 December. I am so grateful to everyone who has helped me do my little bit and bought a butterfly heart edition.” Sir Peter Blake, whose London Stands Together illustration illuminated Trafalgar Square as a message of hope back in May, also saw his 100-face mural Our Fans auctioned to support our appeal.
