The group all posed together for a photo at the Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) in the Lightroom – which was shared by Jools on his Instagram account.
He wrote: ‘Great art accompanied by the great artists of life could not be better. David Hockney’s dazzling show, ‘Bigger & Closer (not smaller and farther away)’ @_lightroomldn is awesome.”
David sat at the front of the group and looked smart in a checked suit, shirt, tie and matching hat.
Fans were quick to comment on the photo of what a great group he managed to get together for the exhibit.

Lightroom’s huge walls and sound system allow people to see the world through the eyes of David Hockney.
He previously said, “The world is very, very beautiful when you look at it, but most people don’t look that much.
“They’re scanning the ground in front of them so they can walk, they’re not really looking at things incredibly closely, with a certain intensity.” I do.’
David has indulged his lifelong fascination with new media for the immersive experience, which encourages people to take a closer look at his art.
Mia Regan, Myleene Klass and Keith Lemon were among the famous faces who attended the exhibition’s opening press night last Tuesday.
