Five weeks after Brixton held a spontaneous street party and club night to pay tribute to local hero David Bowie after the unexpected news of his death, the ad hoc shrine opposite the tube station continues to prove a major attraction.

The shrine is focused around the Bowie mural created in June 2013 by Australian street artist James Cochran, and fans continue to visit to leave flowers, tributes, drawings and personal messages.

As die-hard Bowie fans, we’ve been visiting the shrine several times at week at all different times of the day, and we’ve enjoyed reading the new messages.

It’s been fascinating to see just how broad and inclusive his appeal was, with messages from many nations and people of all ages gathering around the flowers.

Here’s a selection of photos taken over the past fortnight, starting with the most recent ones (from yesterday):
