When English Heritage erects a blue plaque, it's generally to mark a place that's associated with a famous person or event. Very rarely does it celebrate a fictional character – Sherlock Holmes has one on the site of 221b Baker Street – and now so to does Ziggy Stardust.
A plaque has been placed in Heddon Street, just off London's Regent Street, to mark where the cover of David Bowie's 1972 album, full title The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, was shot.
If Bowie's Ziggy Stardust is eligible for a plaque, what other fictional characters would you like to see honoured like this? Maybe a plaque for Nigel Tufnel (if you manage to locate Squatney, east London)? One for Tracy Jacks on Walton seafront? And there must be club somewhere crying out to commemorate Ebeneezer Goode?
If you've got any better ideas, let us know below.
