I'd been preparing this light-hearted piece about how everyone in my Bradfordian family seemed to have a David Hockney anecdote, when the news came in. All I can add is that everyone in Bradford was very proud of him - and that he ALWAYS stood out.

Love that one of the toby jugs from the Re-whatever says Labour has chosen 'benefits not bullets, welfare not warfare.'
Er, and?
Nicest thing about Labour anyone's said all year (including me).
Well, goodbye to the boy from Bradford, who reminded us of the power of the spring and greeted each of his own with such joy.
I can't think of another artist I've seen more exhibitions by or bought more books about.
Ta ra lad - who made a bigger splash than you?

In the spirit of football fervour, these two BBC iPlayer programmes fit right in.
First, the superb 'Dear England' in which Joseph Fiennes and Gareth Southgate are soon completely indistinguishable. What a brilliantly-adjudged, paced, acted affair it is:

Secondly, the excellent documentary series 'In Ten Pictures' is back for a new series and David Beckham is one of its subjects this time round:
