Scores of David Bowie superfans have gathered en masse for a special convention celebrating the life of the late singer.
Fans, some dressed as the famous musician, met on the first day of the World David Bowie Fan Convention at St George’s Hall, in Liverpool, on Friday.
Speakers include musicians Gail Ann Dorsey and Carlos Alomar and graphic designer Jonathan Barnbrook, each sharing their own perspectives on the artist’s life work.
The fan convention comes as part of a year of celebrations of what would have been his 75th year.
It will be the London tourist attraction’s second model of Bowie, with the first unveiled in 1983 during the height of his Let’s Dance period.
A sister shop was also opened in Bowie’s adopted home town of New York, at 150 Wooster Street, close to where he lived in his final years and created his last album Blackstar.
The World David Bowie Fan Convention is due to run from Friday 17 until Sunday 19 June.
