How Quentin Blake broke his own rules for L.S. Lowry portrait
Curators have revealed how Sir Quentin Blake broke his own rules to complete a portrait of painter L. S. Lowry for the gallery that bears the famous Mancunian artist's name. An exhibition of the work of Sir Quentin, who has written or illustrated over 500 books and is most widely known for his drawings in Roald Dahl's books, has opened at The Lowry in Simpson, the gallery's director of visual art, said the exhibition featured work from across his career, including a new portrait of the centre's namesake, which Sir Quentin initially declined to do. "He was very sweet and he said, 'I'm sorry, I don't do drawings of real people unless it's myself,'" Mr Simpson said. "Then, a couple of days later, suddenly out of the blue, this drawing appears and it's Lowry leaning on his stick with his notepad in his hand, which is perfect for this exhibition because that's what all the kids are doing," Mr Simpson said. "And it's an absolutely charming illustration, which I'm delighted to say he's presented to The Lowry." Mr Simpson said the portrait demonstrated how involved the 92-year-old had been in the development of the exhibition. In a quote, featured underneath the portrait on the gallery wall, Sir Quentin says: "I can't express how delighted I was to be asked to draw L.S. Lowry."I have learned from experience that drawing likenesses is not something I am best at. However, for some reason I found I could draw Lowry and it was a real pleasure."Mr Simpson said the exhibition had an interactive focus aimed at inspiring children and adults to do their own drawing and writing. He said: "The great thing about Quentin Blake's work is that there are books published in the 60s and 70s that parents and grandparents remember, but of course there are also the newer books that he's done that children are reading in school."The exhibition is free to attend and runs until January 2026.

But when tickets went on sale at 10am on Saturday for the two-performance charity gig at The Lowry Theatre, fans were left struggling to buy them. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one frustrated punter wrote: "Had 3 tickets in basket and then couldn't finish purchase and when tried to get back in everything almost gone. Guess I won't be spending my bday celebration at the Lowry.' Another added: "Peter Kay crashing the internet again!" A third complained that it took him almost two hours to try and buy tickets. One lucky customer added: "Pretty chuffed to have gotten front row accessible tickets for this today before the ticket website fell over for a good while!" Peter has now re-shared an apology from The Lowry on his Instagram account. The message read: "We are aware of the issues this morning regarding booking tickets. "Please bear with us while we try to rectify the problem. "We apologise for any inconvenience caused." Peter Kay breaks his silence on his decision to kick out hecklers who were 'spoiling the show' A further update from the theatre thanked fans for their patience and confirmed the two performances had eventually sold out. Peter and BBC Radio 2 DJ Sara will be taking to the stage on September 14 at both 2.30pm and 7.30pm. A blurb on The Lowry's website reads: "In these unique and heartwarming shows, the two proud Boltonians will sit down to reflect on Peter Kay's remarkable life and career, including the release of his much-anticipated new memoir, 'Peter Kay's Diary', due later this year. "As part of the conversation, they'll also share and discuss the songs that have shaped Peter's journey – from growing up in Bolton to becoming one of the UK's most beloved entertainers." All profits from Peter and Sara's show will go to Bolton Hospice and Crescent Food Bank Bolton. The performances will also be recorded, to air on television at a later date. Peter has been touring with his Peter Kay Live: Better Late Than Never tour since returning to the stage in 2022. On Saturday night, he took to the Manchester AO Arena and will now be taking a break until July 25. His tour will then run again until early November. During his shows, Peter has endured several encounters with rowdy audience members. In March, he halted his set and threatened to set security on hecklers at London's O2 Arena. Weeks earlier, Peter had a fan kicked out after he repeatedly disrupted the show by shouting out the comedian's catchphrase "garlic bread". He also sparked controversy after comparing one heckler to actress Lisa Riley. Peter later treated Lisa, who plays Debbie Dingle in Emmerdale, to VIP tickets to one of his shows in the wake of the remark. 5 BBC Radio 2 DJ Sara will be interviewing Peter about his life and career Credit: PA
