Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr joined the family of George Harrison last night (Wednesday, September 24) to remember the late Beatle.
The surviving members of the legendary group were attending a California screening of a film documenting a concert held last year in memory of the guitarist.
The tribute event at London's Royal Albert Hall included performances by McCartney and Starr as well as by Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Billy Preston and members of Monty Python.
Guitarist Eric Clapton, who was musical director of the star-studded show, also appeared.
Concert for George, which is being released on DVD in November, is being shown at selected US cinemas in October.
John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono also attended last night's screening in Burbank, California, joining Sir Paul's bride Heather Mills McCartney and Starr's wife, Barbara Bach.
Harrison's son Dhani and widow Olivia are donating the film's takings to the Material World Charitable Foundation, established by the guitarist in 1973.
Harrison died of cancer aged 58 in Los Angeles in 2001.
