A Heaton Meat Loaf fan appears determined to keep the singer's memory alive on a local roundabout - despite council efforts to clean up the tributes.
In the wake of the American singer's death last month, drivers on the Coast Road spotted red block capital letters reading 'R.I.P. MEAT LOAF' on the bridge between Chillingham Road and Benton Road.
The message was washed away by Newcastle City Council - although other graffiti in the area remained.
