The popstar shared a shot on Instagram yesterday of him standing in front of a John Lennon mural painted by David Nash and it has already received over one million likes.

Mr Nash, 41, from Loddon created the piece in Camden two years ago and didn't expect it to last so long.

The artist, who paints under the tag of Gnasher, said: 'A photographer friend tagged me in Justin's image and I couldn't believe it, apparently it's part of the Camden tourism route too.

'I haven't received any recognition yet, but that's okay, it's still pretty cool.'

The owner of the wall now wants Mr Nash to repaint the portrait - which over the years has been covered in tags - so he can preserve it with a Perspex cover.

He is hoping to recreate the Lennon mural within the next two weeks.

The graffiti artist was also the man behind the portrait of fictional Norfolk DJ Alan Partridge, which was painted on the wall of the Hollywood cinema in Anglia Square and has painted images in Norwich of Rik Myall and Robin Williams after their deaths.
