Sir Peter Blake is one of the leading lights of the pop art movement of the 1960s.
His iconic design for the cover of the Beatles' album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ensured he transcended the art world.
Although it was one of his most famous pieces, he was paid just £200 for the sleeve, receiving no royalties from the album's phenomenal success.
Born in Dartford, Kent, Sir Peter, studied at Gravesend School of Art before being accepted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Art in London,
he graduated in 1956.
Andy Warhol is often cited as the founder of pop art but in fact Sir Peter created his Captain Webb Matchbox
before Warhol's soup tin paintings used consumer products as art.
Thank you for all your support and encouragement in all this, Sir Peter.

A Day In The Life
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by English rock band The Beatles. Released 1 June 1967, it became a defining album in the emerging psychedelic rock style; it has since been recognised by prominent critics and publications as one of the most influential albums of all time.
Recorded over a 129-day period beginning in December 1966, Sgt. Pepper sees the band exploring further the experimentation of their previous album, 1966's Revolver. Making use of orchestras, hired musicians and innovative production techniques, the album incorporates elements of music hall, rock and roll, western classical and traditional Indian music; its lyrics deal particularly with themes of childhood and everyday life. The album is loosely based on a concept that the Beatles are performing as the fictitious band of the album's title; the cover art, depicting the band posing in front of a collage of famous individuals, has itself been widely acclaimed and imitated.
The album was a commercial success, spending a total of 27 weeks at the top of the UK Album Chart and 15 weeks at number one in the American Billboard 200. It was critically acclaimed upon release and won four Grammy awards in 1968. Sgt. Pepper frequently ranks at or near the top of published lists of the greatest albums of all time, including the top of Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
