Cheers Boston, the pub that inspired the hit television show, paid tribute by sharing a picture of Norm's spot at the bar on Instagram.
"George wasn't just an actor - he was a symbol of comfort, laughter, and that familiar feeling of walking into a place where everybody knows your name," they said.
"To George: thank you for the laughs, the memories, and the legacy you leave behind. You'll always have a stool at our bar."

"He was warm, professional and kind and our cast and crew were gifted with his presence every time. Rest in peace!" she wrote on Instagram.
"Heaven just got a little funnier".
