Cubans guard Lennon's specs
FOUR Cuban pensioners have taken it on themselves to ensure a statue of John Lennon in Havana is not robbed of its spectacles.
The specs were first swiped eight years ago from the statue, inaugurated in 2000 to mark the 20th anniversary of the former Beatle's death.
The team works 12-hour shifts to ensure there is no repeat of the theft.
"You have to be here every day," said Juan Gonzalez, a retired 89-year-old.
