Social media has been flooded with messages celebrating the life of the cancer fundraiser Stephen Sutton.
More than 7,000 people have attended an ongoing vigil in Lichfield Cathedral, where his coffin is lying.
His body will be taken to a private burial service later and at 11:00 BST people were asked to send the message #ThumbsUpForStephen on social media.
Stephen's mother also asked people to "do something that makes you and others happy".
The coordinated message-writing on Facebook and Twitter is known as a "thunderclap" and people have been posting photos of themselves doing Stephen's famous thumbs up pose.

Stephen raised more than £4m for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity and his coffin will remain at Lichfield Cathedral until 15:00 to allow people to pay their respects.
His mother, Jane Sutton said: "We know that thousands of people have been inspired by Stephen's story. We want to give all of his friends and supporters, and especially local people who supported him from the start, the opportunity to come and say goodbye."
Stephen's body arrived to applause at the cathedral just before 19:00 on Thursday.
The coffin was then moved inside the cathedral for a short service.
At the end of the service, mourners gave Stephen's trademark thumbs up gesture as they filed silently past his coffin.
The cathedral said a book of condolence for Stephen had been opened and people were welcome to sign it and light candles.
The Very Reverend Adrian Dorber, Dean of Lichfield, said: "People were arriving up to 23:15 last night.
"He had such a clear life force and spoke to people's hearts so eloquently."
Yellow ribbons are also adorning streets in Lichfield and in Burntwood, in his memory.
