The shrine was built by fans of the Doctor Who spin-off show to commemorate Ianto – who became one of sci-fi TV’s most popular LGBTQ+ characters following his romance with Jack Harkness – after he was killed-off in 2009.
In a joint Instagram post on Monday (20 April), actor Gareth David-Lloyd, who played Jones in the series, and local artist Nathan Wyburn and his long-time collaborator Wayne Courtney, wrote: “And with that… IANTO’S SHRINE comes to an end… or does it? Follow @nathanwyburnart for the NEXT STEP! ? @gdavidlloyd @mermaidquay @mattbotten."
was accompanied by photos of fans standing in front of the shrine.
Ianto was introduced in the very first episode of the show, and went from having a minor role in the series to becoming Captain Jack’s love interest, before he was tragically killed off in Children of Earth.
Speaking about the impact his storyline has had on fans, David-Lloyd recently told Radio Times: "I've had a few experiences where fans have come up, and they've been quite emotional."
Speaking about how the storyline was “quite a unique relationship to put at the forefront of a primetime show” at the time, he added: “And I think maybe that had something to do with it, and people felt connected to it on a deeply personal level, because it spoke to them personally.
