Queen Elizabeth II – or a 35-square-metre painting of her – is hanging outside The Pint in downtown Winnipeg. But it’s only going to be there for a few hours.

On Thursday afternoon, the 600 lbs. portrait was unveiled at 274 Garry St., outside the pub’s building. The iconic portrait will be displayed for the next 12 hours in honour of the Heritage Classic.
