Banksy has confirmed responsibility for a number of artworks that appeared in seaside towns across Britain and which were suspected to be the mysterious street artist's work.
The still-anonymous muralist took to Instagram to confirm their involvement in a number of paintings that have captured the public's attention in recent weeks, which they appear to have dubbed as 'A Great British Staycation'.
It comes after another of their works popped up in Great Yarmouth, while other murals with similar hallmarks were discovered in the seaside towns of Brean, Gorleston, Torquay and Lowestoft.

Banksy has seemed to claim responsibility for a number of works, including a mural in Nicholas Everitt Park, Lowestoft in Suffolk of three children standing in a boat with the message “We’re all in the same boat” written in the background.
The video posted on Intagram also features the work featuring the name 'Banksy' and the mantra "Go hard or go home" that appeared daubed on a new house found in a model village in Great Yarmouth.
The video shows the process behind the creation of some of the works, as well as reactions captured from people spotting the works.
A van appears continually throughout the video as the artist and their crew journey across the county, often seen going behind unsuspecting holidaymakers.
The reveal comes amid continued speculation that Banksy may be about to reveal their identity at last, with bookmakers making Robin Gunningham the favourite.
Earlier this year, the elusive street artist raised more than £16million for health projects with the auction of a painting offering an ‘image of hope’.
Game Changer appeared at Southampton General Hospital during the first wave of the pandemic.
The anonymous graffiti artist auctioned the original canvas, with the reproduction of the work remaining in the hospital.
The painting fetched £16.7million, which is a world auction record for the artist, according to Christie’s.
Proceeds from its sale will be used to support health organisations and charities which enhance the care and treatment provided by the NHS, the auction house said.
