The volume of artifacts left to honour George Best was immense by Sunday morning, there was literally thousands of statements of condolance to George amongst the items left. From the very old to the very young were brought to see the specticle of George Best remembered. The location of the Fans Memorial was facing the front entrance to the Old Trafford ground on a broad section of footpath. The volume of items left was leaving very little space for pedestrians. Many were trying to remember the footballer and not the lifestyle that the celebrity status brought the player.
