    Took that after the game when it had cleared out of people , touching a bottle of WKD left at the bottom with some flowers.

    Well done to those that organised this, I had something in my eye when tributes were being paid @ 2pm, I think it’s a brilliant tribute to a special guy, miss you Seb.

    Very impressive bit of work by the artists and a great addition to the Valley.

    I Iike how they incorporated tickets etc that would have had significance to Seb into the design.

    Beautiful, the addition of the blue WKD is a nice touch too!

    What a fantastic tribute. Thanks to all for doing this. Such a shame we couldn't hear his father speak.

    Didn't quite know what to expect, but blown away by the memorial! Well done to all those involved and such a fitting memorial to Seb, a special one indeed.

    It is better than I imagined it could be. A fitting tribute.

    The work brief was to serve a function but what is great is how brilliantly damn artistic it is. I was expecting a riff on a plaque of some kind but this is way better, it ticks the boxes without being a box ticking exercise but by being frankly a brilliant visual experience.
    Very well done to the democratically run supporters trust.

    I barely knew Seb but, like everyone, knew OF him.
    I was explaining this to my wife yesterday and actually welled up.  

    This is, frankly, stunning.

    brilliant brilliant work

    That is superb, the detail contained in it, and the amount of energy that comes out of the mosaic is extraordinary

    Even if you take away our emotional involvement in it, it's superb piece of art which deserves to be recognised away from the club

    I noticed the Wembley 2019 ticket on it. The tickets are a very nice touch seeing as Seb attended so many consecutive games. I can't fault it and am very happy it has come out so well.

    One of them looks like it was issued by Sheffield United, so the FA Cup game maybe? The one to the left of his head looks like a Play-off Final One, and top right has a Viglen logo on it, so dates it to sometime in the 90s - possibly his first ever game.

    I like that they are both home and away tickets - great touch.

    Best thing about the game last night was the article on Seb in the programme. Very moving.

    Mural is incredible, RIP

    The two artists came up to the museum and spent hours taking photos and going through boxes of items, such as tickets and the flag, to find things that would be significant to Seb.   They then built those into the design.

    I really like how they have done the background crowd as a semi abstract.  Almost Stanley Spencer.

    Paul, the lead artist, is a big music and big Lou Reed fan too

    Will just add to the praise others have rightly expressed previously. It's absolutely excellent.

    Well done to the banned fan who kicked this off, and to the democratic Charlton Athletic Supporters Trust for following this through.
    Yet another reason to become a member of the Trust for £5 a year.
