Arcade Fire have shared a mini-documentary about their David Bowie tribute parade in New Orleans last month.

The parade was in collaboration with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and was called Pretty Things on Facebook.

Bowie passed away 10 January following an 18-month battle with cancer shortly after his 69th birthday and the release of 25th studio album Blackstar. Arcade Fire and Bowie worked together on "Reflektor", the title track from the Canadian titans' latest LP.

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band helped Arcade Fire along the route - as did many of Bowie's fans - as they pumped out horn-splattered versions of Bowie's belters.

Last month the band paid tribute to Bowie on Facebook:

"David Bowie was one of the band's earliest supporters and champions. He not only created the world that made it possible for our band to exist, he welcomed us into it with grace and warmth. We will take to the grave the moments we shared; talking, playing music and collaborating as some of the most profound and memorable moments of our lives. A true artist even in his passing, the world is more bright and mysterious because of him, and we will continue to shout prayers into the atmosphere he created."
