The wedding present, which appears to be a canvas print of Bronson’s face and torso, was signed by his friends and his new wife, Paula Williamson.
Bronson, who has been referred to as “Britain’s most violent prisoner” and is now known as Charles Salvador, married Ms Williamson in a ceremony inside HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire on Tuesday.
According to the Mirror, one message on the gift read: “God bless Mr and Mrs Salvador.”
Another read: “Here’s to progress my old mate!”
A photo of the artwork was posted to Facebook by Andrew Parkin, a supporter of Bronson, who attended the wedding.
He wrote on social media last night: “Back to my room at Charlie’s and Paula Salvador’s wedding I’ve been so privileged. Finally been allowed to let people know.”
A number of unusual guests were present at the ceremony, including the ex-husband of Katie Price and MMA fighter, Alex Reid, who had contacted Bronson about fight training.
Dave Courtney, a reformer gangster, also attended at the wedding.
