Within an hour of Banksy's new tree-themed mural in Finsbury Park being 'claimed', Mrs Holmes was already at the spot - one of the first in the world to view the fresh and, as she put it, 'raw' mural.
The self-confessed super fan is such a hardcore Banksy aficionado that she said she also once drove 14 hours from Leeds to Margate and back so she could spend just 10 minutes taking some photos of his mural in the Kent seaside town.
Mrs Holmes co-founded a Facebook super fan group called Banksy Locations in 2020 with fellow street art enthusiast Jay Tompkins.
The group now has 20,000 members worldwide and covers 'every single aspect of Banksy' from the 1990s to today, Mrs Holmes said.
