Mr Quaife, who played bass in the British Invasion band during its 1960s heyday, died last year aged just 66.

In tribute to the musician, a blue plaque has been installed in Fortismere School in Tetherdown, unveiled by Mr Davies, fellow Kinks member Mick Avory and Mr Quaife’s brother David.

Fortismere was chosen because the bassist studied at its predecessor William Grimshaw Secondary Modern School, and met future bandmates Ray and Dave Davies there.

His brother David said: “This is great recognition of Peter, not only for being a founding member of The Kinks and ushering in a new breed of music, but also as a brilliant author.”

Mr Quaife’s first novel was published posthumously earlier this year.
