A giant portrait of 24's Jack Bauer has been unveiled in London's Borough Market.

The portrait was made from 1,485 London postcards and artist Quentin Devine had just 24 hours to complete it.

The mosaic portrait, commissioned by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, was made to mark the Blu-ray and DVD release of 24: Live Another Day.

The mosaic features 24 different designs of London postcards using iconic images of the City including Big Ben, The Ritz and the London Eye.

Devine explained: "Just like Jack I had to meticulously plan my strategy, sticking one postcard down to the giant 24-metre square canvas every minute, before time ran out.

"I certainly felt the pressure as the clock was ticking but luckily for me the fate of the world wasn't resting in my hands."
