This wonderful fan memory of Bowie was posted on Facebook:
I've been a Bowie fan since a teenager and saw The Serious Moonlight Tour at Wembley with a friend. The following day the same friend was walking down the Kings Road and spotted him. When she approached him for an autograph, neither of them had a pen.
"How about a photo instead?" Bowie suggested.
"I don't have a camera."
Bowie then strolled into the photo booth they were stood next to saying,
"Come on love, my shout."
This rare and brilliant photograph of a teeny Bowie was posted by The Scouts:

Here's a wonderful collection of David Bowie displaying his sharp sense of humour:
There's a moment at 0:31 when he is asked about re-incarting himself and his answer is Bowie at his most self-deprecating best:
Of course, we all know that Bowie never died.
He just returned to his home planet.
What a class act.
He will be missed.
