[VE][64] IMG element

When I validate several of my pages I receive the following:
Error /Line 49 column 40/: document type does not allow element "img"
here; missing one of "ins", "del", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6",
"p", "div", "address", "fieldset" start-tag.

|<img src="banner.jpg" alt="Cube Games" /*>*|

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which
you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that
are both allowed there /and/ can contain the element mentioned. This
might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've
forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a
block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline
element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
How is it possible to amend this.
I use XHTML 1.0/1.1
