In Memoriam has been created by artist Luke Jerram from 120 sheets and will be in Chapelfield Gardens from Friday, September 4 to Sunday, September 6.

The artwork “commemorates all the people we have lost and is also a tribute to all the NHS and key workers”, the artist said.

“I’m hoping the artwork will help some people with the grieving process,” he added.

Mr Jerram said: “There’s been a lot of grief. The country is in a grieving process. I’m hoping this artwork may be of use to people to contemplate the pandemic but also to help with the bereavement.”

He said he bought the bed sheets - which resemble a medical cross logo from the air - and “stitched” them up.
