The veteran of UK pop art Sir Peter Blake [1] has updated his iconic sleeve for The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

"It's a cross I bear, it's an albatross I have to deal with," he told BBC News. "What vaguely depresses me still is that I'm known pretty much as 'Peter Blake - who did the cover of Sgt Pepper' when I've done so much else."

The new version of the sleeve features contemporary figures such as Noel Gallagher [2], Amy Winehouse [3] and Vivienne Westwood. It will be used as a poster for designer Wayne Hemingway's Vintage Festival [4].
