Downing Street gallery gets new addition
3 February 2008
A portrait of former Prime Minister Tony Blair has been put in place on the Grand Staircase of Number 10 in keeping with a long-standing Downing Street tradition.
The photograph, taken by artist Brian Moody, is the 51st portrait of a former PM to be added to the collection. The gallery stretches back to Sir Robert Walpole, Prime Minister from 1721 to 1742 and the first premier to reside at Number 10.
