THE WORLD IS still coming to terms with the death of George Michael last night.

People have been reminiscing about his music, activism and all the times he simply brought so much joy into our lives.

And since last night, his acts of generosity in everyday life are being shared across Twitter.

Starting with this gesture to a Deal or No Deal contestant

Richard Osman was Executive Producer of the Channel 4 show.

And it provoked other people to share their stories of George and his generous deeds
