Pictures of the day: 28 February 2012

Belfast Sculptor Brendan Jamison has created a sculpture of the entrance to the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street out of sugar cubes. The work will be displayed from Monday 27 February on a bureau in the front hall behind the black door. It will be on show to visiting world leaders as they pass through the door of the Georgian townhouse on Britain's most famous street. The intricate carving, complete with doorbell, knocker and letterbox, used 5,117 sugar cubes and took two months to complete.
