Bristol artist Banksy has struck again - this time on a road sign in Clevedon.

Following his string of art in Paris, the world-famous street artist has now returned closer to home for his latest work.

It shows two youngsters carrying the older generation on their backs, although the actual message is still unclear.

The sign was first spotted by the seafront in Clevedon on Friday afternoon, and was thought to have been put up overnight.

A picture of it has been uploaded onto Banksy’s verified Instagram account, which has more than 2.4million followers.

The last time Banksy hit Bristol was during the last General Election, when he offered a free print to anyone who voted against the Tories. That offer was retracted after a few days.

In June 2016, he painted on the side of a school which named a house after him, and in 2015, his team took over the Tropicana in Weston-super-Mare to create Dismaland.

His series in the French capital was thought to criticise the Government’s stance on migrants.

“Fifty years since the uprising in Paris 1968. The birthplace of modern stencil art,” Banksy posted on his image of a masked rat carrying a utility knife.

The mural was sprayed on the back of a road sign outside the Pompidou Centre, a modern art gallery which houses Europe’s biggest collection of contemporary artwork.

Banksy took on the rat as his avatar - a symbol of the vilified and downtrodden - in homage to Parisian Blek Le Rat, who started out in 1968 when a general strike by students and workers brought France to a halt.

The artist, originally from Bristol, sprayed another rat wearing a Minnie Mouse bow under the caption ‘May 1968’ near Sorbonne University.

The mural which has attracted the most attention, however, depicts a child refugee painting over a swastika symbol.

The painting is located next to a former refugee centre which was closed down in March by the French government.
