An ancient parish church has been given planning approval to create a new stained glass window celebrating its 700th anniversary and the life and reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The new feature at Grouville Parish Church, which will replace a damaged window, has been designed by Neil McKenzie, a local artist who has been creating and restoring stained-glass windows in the island since 1986.
His work can be seen in many churches and private homes across Jersey, France and Spain.
The window will be decorated with four medallions, which will be stacked horizontally. The top medallion will honour the parishioners awarded the Grouville Coat of Arms and the second will show the orb from the Queen’s Coronation, which symbolises her role as head of the church.

A portrait of the Queen in her younger years will feature in the third medallion while the final one will show the Royal Coat of Arms.
The stained-glass window is expected to take between two and thee months to create and will cost around £12,500.
