Bradford celebrated David Hockney’s birthday with events across the city over the weekend.
Hockney turned 80 on Sunday, 9 July, and is widely regarded as one of the best living painters in the world.
His hometown marked the occasion with a new gallery dedicated to the artist at Cartwright Hall, the unveiling of a sculpture in Little Germany and a mass party in Lister Park.
At the party was a cake that recreated a Hockney self-portrait and another, so big that it was shared with over 1,000 people, of one of the artist’s most famous works – A Big Splash.
