John Lennon memorial festival announced

A music festival, which is to be held in honor of the late Beatles star John Lennon, is to take place in the same remote Scottish village where the murdered Beatles star used to spend his summers as a child.

Musical sets, poetry recitals, film screenings and a huge dance event in an enormous sea cave will span three days of celebrations at Durness, Scotland in September this year.

John Lennon's cousin, Stan Parkes says his John would have been "delighted and surprised" to learn about the festival.
The singer/songwriter spent five summers in the area as a youngster.
