John Lennon remembered, 30 years after his death
Tributes were paid to John Lennon yesterday to mark the 30th anniversary of his murder.
A vigil was held in Liverpool at a monument dedicated to the former Beatle where fans lit candles and sung his songs.
Fans also gathered at a memorial garden in Central Park, New York, opposite the apartment building where he was shot in 1980.
Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, urged people to remember him with "deep love and respect". She said: "On this tragic anniversary, please join me in remembering John.
"In his short-lived life of 40 years, he has given so much to the world. The world was lucky to have known him. We still learn so much from him today."
Ono was with Lennon when he was killed by Mark Chapman outside the Dakota building where the couple lived.
