A fan has left a unique tribute to Ronnie Corbett in Croydon town centre following the comedy legend's death.
Four candles have been placed at the foot of a statue of the comic in reference to one of the Two Ronnies' most famous sketches.
Mr Corbett, a long-time resident of Shirley, died on Thursday aged 85.

The fitting tribute - placed alongside a bunch of flowers at the "portrait bench" in Charles Street - harks back to a classic sketch in which Mr Corbett, cast as a hardware shop worker, struggles to understand if a customer wants to four candles or fork handles.
The funnyman was chosen in a public vote alongside fellow famous Croydon figures Peggy Ashcroft and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor to be immortalised in the statute in 2013.
The beloved comedian, who had been battling motor neurone disease, slipped into a coma on Tuesday and was taken to Shirley Oaks Hospital, where he died.
His death sparked an outpouring of warm tributes in Croydon and across the country.
