David Bowie was born as David Jones on Stansfield Road, Brixton, London on January 8, 1947.
He lived there with his parents in until he was six years old before moving down the road to Beckenham.
His mum Margaret Mary Peggy Jones worked as an usherette at the local cinema, which makes this tribute from the Ritzy even more touching.
