The artwork for Magna Carta Holy Grail, Jay-Z's new album, installed next to the Magna Carta in Salisbury Cathedral

Rapper Jay-Z has placed artwork for his forthcoming album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, next to the 1215 Magna Carta in Salisbury Cathedral.
The record, which is released on Saturday, was announced in a TV advert in mid-June. The artwork, which depicts two statues and the rapper's name struck out in black, now sits next to one of the four copies of the historic document.
The installation was announced on Jay-Z's own website, Life+Times, where you can see more photos, and will be on show in the Cathedral throughout July.
Dean of Salisbury the Very Revd June Osborne told the Salisbury Journal that she was "delighted" Jay-Z had chosen the Cathedral to display his artwork.
She added: "Jay Z is creating a huge awareness of this historic document and its modern significance to a huge audience ... We hope to welcome many of his fans here this summer to see the artwork".
Magna Carta holy grail will be released early to one million users of a Samsung phone app on Thursday, before going on general release on Saturday.
