The Darlington Arts Festival paid tribute to Richard with a small display of photographs and books at the November 2023 festival.
The Woldendorp family had been Darlington residents since the 1960s and always enjoyed the annual Darlington Arts Festival. Richard had exhibited at the event on several occasions and had been a patron for many years. It was therefore fitting that this tribute was in the place where Richard lived when he first established himself as a professional photographer.
