"I felt very proud. It was also very exciting. I'm looking forward to meeting him again."

"The room it is based in is meant to reflect the Spennymoor Settlement, which is where the Pitmen Painters were based."Ms Clay has fond memories of her childhood with her grandfather, who was born in Haltwhistle, in Northumberland, and went on to work as an art lecturer at Lancaster University and Teesside Polytechnic.

But it was when he began teaching night classes through the WEA that he encountered artists who would later become Pitmen Painters.As well as McGuinness, Ms Clay also believes her grandfather may have taughtMr Cartner was a keen painter, botanist and calligrapher and took his daughter fossil hunting, where they would get to work "banging those chisels".

"I went around fossiling with him on the Cleveland Way all the different little coastal areas like Robinhood's Bay, Skinningrove, Whitby, Sands End, Staithes - we went everywhere."Mr Cartner would then draw the ammonites they found together and sell his work as postcards for 10p.

When Ms Clay inherited Fish and Chips from her mother, she promised if she had no children to pass the painting on to she would gift it to an art gallery specialising in the Pitmen Painters' work.

Ms Clay thinks her grandfather would approve of their plan.I love my child so much my heart aches without her.

Holly was caring, funny, energetic and at times outspoken.We have struggled to adjust to life without her, her siblings are still struggling so much with all of it.

As a mother who has lost a child, I would hate anyone else to go through the turmoil that our family has suffered and as such I have thrown myself into raising money for emergency bleed boxes.If we can help someone suffering a catastrophic bleed and stop another family going through what we have experienced makes it so worthwhile.
