Beatrice Day appeared in the Shropshire Star at the beginning of July, after she revealed the identity of the artist behind a mural which had appeared on the side of the town's Market Hall.

As a big fan of the work of Birmingham-based Disney.b32, Beatrice and her mum Sandra Smith were able to dispel rumours that the work belonged to well-known street artist Banksy.

Since then, the photograph of Beatrice crouching down next to the mural, appeared on Disney.b32's Instagram page under the heading 'My number one fan B (Beatrice)."
