@juleslenshen This was so good, thank you Julie for an honest and inspiring insight to your amazing career!

[Gemma Thorpe @gemma_thorpe]

So sad to hear this news. Anne was an incredible woman, full of passion, enthusiasm and always so supportive. I loved talking to her - her positivity was infectious. Sheffield is a brighter city for all she did.

[Nancy Fielder @NancyFielder]

Few have fought for our city and people as hard and as passionately as Anne. Her death is a massive loss for Sheffield and the many campaigns she drove for us all. She was also a wonderful woman. RIP, Anne. I will miss you. We'll keep fighting the fight 💔

Two more days to see this beautiful work. I so enjoyed working with Mark and the Barns-Graham Trust to provide the stills for this project.

Feeling slightly breathless after finally spending time with @markcousinsfilm’s exhilarating @fruitmarket film / instalment Like A Huge Scotland. It’s free, it’s on till Sunday, it’s a beautiful reflection on the life and art of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham. https://t.co/BOEv2DwJGB
