On this day in 2018, a blue plaque to honour global artist George Michael was unveiled at his former school, Bushey Meads.
Fans gathered at 12pm to witness the unveiling and hear tributes to the late singer, who was a former pupil of the school.
George, who passed away on Christmas Day 2016, was a student at Bushey Meads, where he formed a famous musical partnership with close friend Andrew Ridgeley.
The blue plaque was made possible through a joint effort by Bushey Meads executive principal Jeremy Turner, Tracey Wills of the George Michael Appreciation Society, the Heritage Foundation, and George Michael "superfan" Terry Daniels.
Before the plaque was revealed, Terry spoke with great emotion to the crowd of about 100 "lovelies" (the word George used to describe his fans), saying George was "one the greatest musical talents of all time" inspiring an entire generation to "live by their own rules".
