A book of condolence has been opened at Bradford City Hall to allow David Hockney’s home city to remember him.

Hockney, who died aged 88 on 11 June, was born and educated in Bradford and was one of the UK’s favourite artists.

Bradford Council said the book would provide a place of reflection from people whose lives have been “touched by Hockney’s remarkable contribution to the world of art and culture”.

Speaking at a meeting of Bradford Council on Wednesday, Lord Mayor Chris Herd paid tribute to one of the area’s “most well-loved sons”.

“A proud Bradfordian, his extraordinary success brought great distinction to our district and helped place Bradford firmly on the global cultural map,” he said.

Hockney was awarded the Freedom of the City in 2000.
