Twitter tributes six years after artist Tony Hart dies

Tributes have been pouring in on Twitter for artist Tony Hart even though he died six years ago.

The late artist has been trending on social media in the UK, with so many users posting links to an old article in the Guardian about his death that the story became the most-read on its site.

The paper has updated the story so that the phrase “this article was published in 2009” now appears in bold at the top of the page.
