Cav gets a street art tribute

Manx missile appears on British Embassy

A tribute to one of the Island's sporting greats is turning heads in an unusual location.

Tourists in Luxembourg have been sharing photographs of a large mural of Mark Cavendish, adorning the wall of the country's British Embassy.

It's a replica of a painting by British artist James Straffon, created last year as part of a charity fundraiser for Cav's own Team Dimension Data.

The series of 'Tour Greats' eventually raised more than 22,000 Euros for the Qhubeka charity, which donates bicycles to impoverished parts of Africa.
