A huge graffiti tribute to late author Terry Pratchett has appeared in east London.

The mural shows artwork for the cult writer's Discworld books Mort and Reaper Man, complete with a massive portrait of the man himself, who died last month at 66 after a battle with Alzheimer's.

Now Pratchett's legacy is set to live on in Brick Lane with reproductions of the original book art by Josh Kirby.

The panels are at the end of Code Street, a turning off the iconic East End shopping hub.

Characters such as the skeletal, dry-humoured Death and inept wizard Rincewind dance across the walls of the Pillow Cinema.

Pratchett wrote 40 Discworld books, beginning with 1983's The Colour of Magic.

He sold more than 85 million books during his lifetime. Sadly he was diagnosed with the degenerative disease in 2007 and spent his final years forced to dictate rather than write his own novels.

He became a campaigner for more cash to be channeled to Alzheimer's research. He donated nearly half a million pounds of his own money to the Alzheimer's Research Trust.

Ella Finch, who captured these pictures, told the Standard the paintings were "so evocative".

"I wish I knew who the artist was, as it's beautifully done," she said. "As cheesy as it may sound, I hope Terry and Death can walk together along these walls for a long time before any more graffiti takes over."
