A painting of Sam Smith has been unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery in central London.

Sam Smith described the work called Gloria, as “an honour”. 

It is part of the singer songwriter’s own collection and shows them sitting in heavenly surroundings playing a harp, while wearing angel wings designed by JW Anderson.

It will join pictures of singer Harry Styles, Pride In London co-founder Peter Tatchell and race campaigner Baroness Doreen Lawrence in the new History Makers gallery.
