Footnotes

According to the vendor she knew Hirst growing up in Leeds and met through mutual friends at Jacob Kramer College. They both moved to London around the same time and eventually both went to Goldsmith's College. Damien stayed at the vendor's flat before going on holiday with her then partner's brother and on his return he left the passport at the flat. By the time they realised, the passport had expired.
