Celebrated filmmaker Sir Horace Ové has died at the age of 86, his son has announced.
In a post shared on social media, visual artist Zak Ové paid tribute to his father, saying that he will be ‘forever missed’.
‘Our loving father Horace, took his last breathe at 4.30 this morning, while sleeping peacefully. I hope his spirit is free now after many years of suffering with Alzheimer’s,’ he wrote, alongside a photograph of Sir Horace.
