A mural by Banksy has been destroyed after the building it was painted on was demolished, according to a town council in Dover, England.
Banky’s mural featured a construction worker chipping away one of the 12 yellow stars on the European Union flag. It was created in the aftermath of the controversial Brexit vote in the UK, and became a tourist landmark in the coastal town.
It was valued at approximately £1.4 million (€1.6 million).
