We've been pretty surprised at the amount of tributes
that have flooded in since the death of Frank Robinson.

created 91热爆 Radio Nottingham's floral tribute in the shape of
a xylophone. |

One thing is for sure - the people of Nottingham
are demanding a lasting memorial to the busker known to most as
Xylophone Man.

Two weeks before Frank died I was in Nottingham
with my girlfriend and I introduced her to Frank and we chatted
about how he had been there (outside former C&A, which
is now a big chain store here in Spain by the way) since I
was a little lad. Anyway, she took the attached photo of Frank
and me, which as it happens was my last opportunity to do
so. Christopher Goodall Short (M谩laga 聳 Spain)

It seems pressure might be having an affect. The
leader of Nottingham City Council, Cllr Jon Collins, says there
will be a civic memorial to the man. As yet nothing definite has
been agreed.
But plenty of ideas have been suggested by the
people of Nottingham, ranging from statues, naming a tram or a street
after him, creating a wind chime, building a giant xylophone that
children can play.
Artist Debbie Boote is planning to sell her painting
of Frank as a limited edition and we've had cartoons of the man
as well.
