David Bowie's son Duncan Jones has shared news of the birth of his son, revealing his name and even birthday are a beautiful tribute to the late, great Thin White Duke. 

Acclaimed Warcraft and Moon director Jones broke the news of his impending parenthood back in February, revealing that he'd told his father about his grandchild just before he died.

Now, taking to Twitter, Jones reveals that he has honoured his father by given his child 'David' as a middle name, adding that Stenton was born on 10 July - exactly six months to the day of Bowie's death. It comes accompanied by another brilliant David Shrigley-esque drawing.
