This old snap of Bowie in Dublin is giving lots of people a smile

Tributes, memories and old photos have been pouring in on social media this morning, since news broke that music legend David Bowie had passed away.

As well as some beautiful messages from celebrity fans – everyone from JK Rowling to Kanye West has paid tribute – there have also been some more low-key tributes shared.

Like this one, for example, a candid moment from David Bowie's trip to Dublin with his wife Iman back in 1997:

The couple were in the city in August of that year for David's gig at Dublin's Olympia Theatre. The sweet picture was shared in Bowie's memory by Photos of Dublin this morning.

And they weren't the only ones who made a holiday around the gig, as they were joined by English artist Tracey Emin, being photographed by Bowie here with a very young fan on the quays:

"These photos were taken in Dublin, where we’d gone for the weekend," Tracey told the Daily Mail back in 2013. 

"The little girl was an unknown interloper."

Bet that "unknown interloper" never realised her picture would still be doing the rounds 19 years on…
