A plaque and seat dedicated to him were unveiled by a group of his friends and followers at Prospect Park.
Literary executor Alan Roddick said his friend Ruth Dallas used to take him to the park during his last illness, in 1973, where he enjoyed the view.
The plaque bears one of his last poems, `The Clear'.
It is about the park, which was known as the Clear.
Funded by local people who knew the poet, the plaque and seat were installed in December but Mr Roddick wanted to wait for a suitable time to gather everyone for an official service.
