Many are asking whether Banksy left his mark in Hertfordshire after artwork appeared on a former pub.
The mural was spotted by those attending the Park Street's moving Remembrance Day service on Sunday (November 8).
It mimics the style of Banksy's famous stencil graffiti and depicts a solider from one of the world wars alongside an elderly veteran.
The man is wearing a military beret, poppy and his medals while propping himself up with a walking stick.
This would not be out of character for the anonymous artist who frequently comments on topics like war, consumerism, inequality, government surveillance, refugees and environmental issues.
Banksy’s works often become major attractions, drawing visitors to pieces in London and Bristol to Ukraine and Bethlehem.
In 2018, a framed version of Girl with Balloon partially shredded itself moments after being sold at auction for more than £1 million, becoming one of the most famous moments in modern art.
Unfortunately, Banksy's work is notoriously difficult to verify and is usually posted on their social media channels to millions of followers.
The artwork can be seen on boards outside The Falcon in Park Street.
The pub closed in June and is now marketed as a “development opportunity” on LoopNet.
