Just like the rest of the nation, the mydeco office is in shock and disbelief about the sudden death of pop legend Michael Jackson last night. Understandably, it’s all over the news today and reports say that he died from a cardiac arrest at his house in Los Angeles late last night. We pay tribute by listing the top ten of the best Michael Jackson memorabilia:

HIStory - has ended abrubtly

Remember Jacko in his glory days, before he'd gone plastic surgery-happy and before the court cases and spiralling debt. This framed Michael Jackson print (£47.47)from Easy Art shows him in his musical, fashion and performance heyday.

  • I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON PILLOWCASE DESIGN NO.3

    I just can't stop loving you

    What better way to pay your respects? This I Love You Michael Jackson pillowcase (£4.99), available at Amazon, is ideal for all fans.

  • MICHAEL JACKSON B/W MUG

    You wanna be startin' somethin'

    I nearly dropped my own mug of tea this morning when I heard the news of his death! Why not start your day with a nice slurp of tea from a mug with, well Michael Jackson's mug on it. Drinking from this white ceramic Michael Jackson mug (£3.99), also from Amazon, will enable you to commemorate the superstar several times a day.

  • Pallucco Lalinea CD/DVD Storage

    Don't stop 'til you get enough

    Sad times are upon us, even more now I've realised he definitely won't be releasing any more thriller-esque hits or performing on stage ever again. Recreate the many top tens that Jackson did release with Guitar Hero World Tour (£78.29), from Argos. It has many of his much-loved classics for you to rock out to 'til you get enough of a Jackson fix.

  • Rock with you

    Always one for something quirky and unique, I reckon Jacko would have loved this Pallucco Lalinea CD and DVD storage wall unit (£667.73) from Nest. It will light up and illuminate your collection of greatest hits and DVD's of his many concerts, peformances and documentaries to make them a focal point - just as he was in real life.

  • John Lewis Boys Sports Socks, White, 2-Pack, 9-12

    The man in the mirror

    Michael Jackson was a fashion icon throughout his pop reign and was well known for his flamboyant style and costume - both off and on stage. He wore sequinned or velvet military jackets, leather jackets, bell bottoms trousers and recently he has rarely been seen without his mirrored aviator sunnies. Be the man in the mirror with this self-adhesive Aviator mirror (£78.70) at Made in Design.

  • Love - Diamante Cushion

    Off the wall

    Like all his albums, Off The Wall was a huge hit - as was the new look which came with it. This is when his craze for tuxedo jackets really took off, with pegged trousers, black shoes and, of course, the dazzling white socks. Dress your feet with white sport socks (£4) from John Lewis.

  • Double_Ferris_Wheel

    The way you make me feel

    The superstar often said in interviews that he wanted to be loved - by his fans in particular - which is why I think he would have liked the message on this Love cushion (£65) from Barker and Stonehouse. The silver knots and glittering diamantes also match his fashion style and his sparkly personality.
