The relatives frozen in time on Google Street View

Social-media users are sharing Google Street View images featuring friends and relatives who have since died.

It was sparked by a post on the Twitter account Fesshole, which asks followers to submit anonymous confessions – many of which are explicit.

The original poster said they had searched the map platform for images taken before their father had died.

Launched in the US in 2007, Google Street View has since rolled out worldwide.

The BBC’s Neil Henderson shared an image of his late father at his front door.

“I have literally hundreds of pics of my dad but the Google Street View is quite affecting, like he’s still around,” he wrote.

Another tweeter showed an image of a couple holding hands in the street – his parents, he said, who had died several years ago.

One captured a lady just outside her doorway. “My mum creeping outside for a cigarette,” wrote Bernard Baker.
