    Fans of Bradford-born artist David Hockney are being reminded that not only is a new film about his life now out, but also that some of the works seen in the film are on show in his home city.

    The documentary, Hockney, was released on Friday and tells his life through his own words and those of friends and family. Shown in the film are six works currently on display at Cartwright Hall.

    Among the paintings on show are a self-portrait from 1954 showing him before he developed his characteristic bleached blond look, as well as two paintings from when he was studying in Bradford.

  3. Cellino disqualification 'bolt from blue'

    Paul Keat, chairman of Leeds United Supporters Trust, has told BBC Radio Leeds today's disqualification of club boss Massimo Cellino (pictured) by the Football League is "a bolt from the blue".

    Parts of Yorkshire could be run by a London-style directly-elected mayor if new plans are proposed in the government's Autumn Statement.

    South and West Yorkshire would both control some tax and spending if local councils devolve powers to new combined authorities run by a mayor.

    Under the proposals, strategic planning, transport and economic regeneration powers would be handed over. Read more in my latest blog.
