The bat-signal lit up over Los Angeles City Hall Last night in tribute to the late Adam West.

Hundreds of fans attended the event to pay their respects to the iconic Batman actor. The bat-signal was switched on by Mayor Eric Garcetti and Police Chief Charlie Beck. See highlights and photos from the night below:

“Like you, we all spent many hours in front of the TV, same bat time, same bat channel,” Garcetti told the crowd.

“Adam West taught us each one of us had a heart of gold. There will never be another Batman like Adam West and there will never be another Adam West.”

West played the caped crusader on TV in the 1960s, and sadly passed away last Friday after a “short but brave battle” with leukaemia at the age of 88. Fellow Batman actors paid tribute to West over the weekend.
