Celebrated British artist David Hockney has died at the age of 88, just weeks before his 89th birthday. He was one of the most influential British painters and photographers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Remembering David Hockney, he was kind and always had a sparkle in his eye. He never stopped experimenting and is one of the finest painters of our generation.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of artist David Hockney. In 2018, David Hockney designed The Queen’s Window, a vibrant stained-glass window in the Abbey’s north transept. Hockney's only work in stained glass, the window was commissioned to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It was designed on an iPad and uses Hockney's distinct colour palette of yellow, red, blue, pink, orange and green. The rural scene, featuring hawthorn blossom, was chosen to reflect the Queen's deep love of the countryside. On summer evenings, the light from the window floods the transept, bathing it in a beautiful kaleidoscope of colour. The Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle MBE said: “David Hockney's restless eye and eager enthusiasm for pastures new has left us with an extraordinary legacy that is rich and various and yet also unmistakably his. The window he created for the north transept lets in light that arrives with attitude and even humour, painting the statue of Gladstone in shifting shades throughout the summer months. Hockney has left his mark here and we will long remember a great and very personal genius.”

RIP David Hockney, 88. One of Britain’s greatest ever artists, a Yorkshireman to his bootstraps, my neighbour in Kensington (often saw him on local manoeuvres, albeit in a wheelchair more recently) and a wonderful character. Loved his quote: ‘Laugh a lot, it clears the lungs.’

‘My wife and I were greatly saddened to learn of the death of David Hockney O.M., a giant of the world of art and painting, a Yorkshireman through and through and a dear friend and inspiration to so many. David was one of life’s true originals; one who wore his genius as lightly as those beloved yellow Crocs of his that helped brighten Palace occasions. I trust they will see him tread safely into the hereafter as we mourn a man whose irrepressible charm, talent and constant innovation will be most sorely missed, but whose dazzling creativity lives on in galleries and museums around the world.’ Charles R

That time we restored that rather lovely Esprit S1 and took it home, reshooting it in precisely the same place the factory had when they had originality built it. A properly special moment. 📺

Note to all: Gushing Post Alert! Can we all take a moment to appreciate our very own Car Twitter legend @AutoPap (aka Shami Kalra)? Not only has he somehow managed to avoid being sued by every major watch manufacturer for daring to sponsor motor racing events, but today he's pulled off a miracle to rival the loaves and fishes: an incredible sponsorship deal that sees his brand emblazoned on the Pole Position car at Le Mans!!! To top it all off, he's quite a nice guy too. Amazing work Shami - we're all very proud of what you are achieving! Onwards and upwards!

Thanks to everyone who came to our Smith and Sniff live shows in London this week. We had great fun, hope it was tolerable for you. Loved wandering around the London Concours yesterday. So many excellent things.

Just a few of the numerous pre-1940 beauties on display at the Southside Hustle after their nighttime drive. A real delight to see so many all at once, and to enjoy watching them drive off one by one with all the old car sights, sounds and smells you could hope for. An extra special Hustle

Going to be getting on with these two soon

I’m selling my 1972 Rolls Royce Corniche - owned by me for 5 years it has one of the nicest 6.75l V8 engines I’ve witnessed in any old Rolls. It runs just so so smoothly and quietly. The bodywork has a few little tiny blisters but presents well and the interior is just beautiful. Just had a full suspension rebuild at great expense. Perfect for summer. No tax or mot required and super cheap insurance. First £50k buys it. Perfect for @MrJamesMay - as we all know he loves a good Corniche!
