This version of the work did not possess the halo due to its stylistic nature and the prevalence of graffiti in the underground (not given reason). After a few days (incorrect) the halo was repainted by a graffitist (guess), so Transport for London disposed of the poster (not true, poster still exists)
New text:
This version of the work did not possess the halo due to concerns from TFL of encouraging graffiti. However, the halo was repainted within a day, so Transport for London removed the poster.

Under the heading 'Identity' the article, quoting the Daily Mail, states that Robert Cunningham was born on 28th July 1974.
Please add a sentence: 'Public records show that he was born in 1973.'.
The reference for this is the General Register Office - Birth registrations Jul-Sep 1973, ref: 1973 Sep 7B 373. 31.127.252.232 (talk) 10:26, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- The reference should be '1973 Sep Kingswood 7B 373'. 31.127.252.232 (talk) 10:28, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, the reference should be '1973 Sep Bristol 7B 373'. 31.127.252.232 (talk) 10:37, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. M.Bitton (talk) 15:34, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
