Many people also added floral tributes to the hundreds already there.
Curtain caught fire
Mr Shears and Mr Bannon were discovered together, in flat 72 on the ninth floor at Shirley Towers, having entered to tackle the blaze.
One of them was pronounced dead at the scene and the other one was rushed to Southampton General Hospital where, despite emergency first aid and attempts to resuscitate him, he later died.
The couple who lived in the flat, Kirsty and Karl Hoffman, have said it began when a curtain left draped over a lightbulb caught fire.
