In an emotional tribute, Olivia said that George;

Left a footprint on this world, on this country, in this city and on this street.

During his life he travelled East, West and South, but his home was here in the North.

The commemorative plaque is one of the first official Historic England blue plaques to be put on a property outside London.

The official blue plaques are now expanding nationwide and today marks the start of an eight-week public nomination period for the new national blue plaque scheme, run by Historic England on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
