A rainy day in Manhattan didn’t stop hundreds of “Friends” fans from braving the downpour to honor Matthew Perry, who died on Saturday at age 54.
People of all ages and backgrounds gathered on Sunday by the “Friends” building in New York’s West Village to pay their respects to Perry and pose for pictures outside of the show’s iconic apartment. Despite the dreary weather, dozens of flower bouquets and handmade signs with phrases like “the one where we all lost a friend” were piled on the southwest corner of Bedford and Grove near the cozy neighborhood restaurant The Little Owl.
“It feels strange to feel sad about it, but it really has been a sad morning,” said 29-year-old Catherine Schmitt, who brought flowers. “It’s been my comfort show since I can remember. I can’t imagine watching it now without feeling deep sadness.”
