The gallery where David Hockney found inspiration as a child has honoured the artist by opening a dedicated David Hockney Gallery for his 80th birthday.

Hockney visited Cartwright Hall in Bradford in the 1940s and 1950s.

The venue's new permanent Hockney area contains works spanning his career, and unseen photos from his personal albums.

It will host a party on Sunday - his birthday - with a Hockney Disco and a Hockneyfication Station, where visitors can don a blonde wig and round glasses.

David Hockney is widely regarded as Britain's greatest living painter and his exhibitions have drawn record-breaking crowds to the Tate and the Royal Academy in recent years.
