Did you take a break to gaze at the Humber during May?

An artist is trying to track down a mystery man who inspired her latest work of art near the Humber Bridge.

Emma Prempeh, 29, was seeking inspiration as she walked along the Hessle foreshore in May, when she came across a man with a zimmer frame who looked "really serene".

Describing the scene as "the perfect image", Ms Prempeh asked the man for his permission to take a photograph, but did not get his details.

She said she would "love" to meet her muse to say thank you and show him the finished result.

Ms Prempeh said: "I keep thinking 'why didn't I get his name?' I wish I could locate him. To me it would mean a lot."

Emma Prempeh's work is inspired by home, identity, and memory
