In a symbolic gesture that moved fans worldwide, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr came together in London to plant a “Tree of Peace” in honor of their late bandmates, John Lennon and George Harrison.
The ceremony took place in a quiet city park, with only close friends, family, and a small group of lucky fans in attendance. Paul, dressed simply, placed the first handful of soil at the tree’s roots. Ringo followed, tapping the earth with his shovel before raising his signature peace sign.
“This is for John and George,” Paul said softly, his voice carrying both love and loss.
Ringo added:
“Peace and love—always. That’s what they would have wanted.”
The tree, a blooming cherry blossom, will stand as a living memorial—growing and flourishing just as the Beatles’ music continues to inspire generations. Fans who attended the ceremony left flowers and handwritten notes beneath the roots, turning the site into a quiet shrine of remembrance.
