Jack Bond, a British film-maker who worked on a string of avant garde films in the 1960s and 70s with Jane Arden, and went on to collaborate with the Pet Shop Boys and Adam Ant, has died aged 87. Bond’s family told the Guardian that he died on 21 December at a nursing home in Twickenham.

The Pet Shop Boys, with whom he collaborated in the 1980s, said in a statement: “[Jack] was a warm and funny man who we very much enjoyed working with and we send our love and condolences to his family and those close to him.”
