A very fitting tribute.

I do know that he was <never> a <musician>, but he did in fact go on to
become a world famous songwriter and guitarist in probably <the> most
influential pop group of the 20th century, the powers that be in the U.K.
have re-named Liverpool Airport "Liverpool John Lennon".

I don`t s`pose <we> will <ever> see Heathrow being re-named "Edward Elgar
International" or Gatwick, "George Shearing Intercontinental".
