The wall, floor, windows and even the doorstep are lined with the emotional tributes to the Wham! singer
The Wham! star passed away in bed last year and was found by his boyfriend Fadi Fawaz, who said he had died ‘peacefully’.
Police were called to the home just before 2pm on Christmas Day and later said that they were treating the 53-year-old’s death as ‘unexplained but not suspicious’.
Darren Salter, Oxfordshire’s senior coroner, eventually decided there was no need for an inquest to find the cause of his death because ‘there is a confirmed natural cause of death, being dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver’.
Some fans had feared that Michael had suffered a relapse and died from an overdose.
He had suffered health scares in the past and fought drug addiction for many years before his death.
Back in 2011 the star nearly died from pneumonia while on tour, and after receiving treatment he told fans that it had been ‘touch and go’.

Michael was set to release a documentary film in 2017 and his 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 had been set to be reissued accompanied.
Nearly a year later, thousands of fans are still mourning the much-loved Last Christmas hitmaker.
Grieving fans have attached personal items to the windows, trees and even the doorstep of his home in Goring-on-Thames in Oxfordshire.
Many have left poignant tributes, with one red love-heart bauble simply reading ‘Yog’.
Yog was Michael’s nickname among close friends and family, and it originating from his Greek name Giorgos Kyriakos Panayiotou.
His creative fans have taken to various mediums to express their grief, with one knitting a red stocking bunting which reads ‘faith’.
Others have written emotional notes in tribute, with one reading: ‘Last Christmas, we gave you our hearts… with love, the George Michael fan club.’
