John Lennons loved ones and fans have been paying tribute to the late musician on 38th anniversary of his murder.
Earlier today, a tweet from the former Beatles Twitter account was shared: Today as we think of John and all the great works he gave us, please share your favourite songs, lyrics, quotes, philosophies, artworks, doodles and memories of John with the hashtag #JohnLennon.
Fans quickly got to sharing their favourite Lennon quotes including: Everything will be okay in the end. If its not okay, its not the end and You may say Im a dreamer but Im not the only one.
Many also showed off tattoos dedicated to the late singer.
Yoko Ono, Johns wife, retweeted the request, and shared her own message.
Everything you think and do affects our society, she wrote. So think peace. Start with that.
It comes after Sir Paul McCartney paid tribute to John at the March For Our Lives protest back in March, with a plea to end gun violence.

Sir Paul told CNN he had come just to support the people before referencing the death of his childhood friend whom he formed The Beatles with.
One of my best friends was killed in gun violence right around here, so its important to me, McCartney told CNN.
The singer added that he was unsure if gun violence can be ended, adding: But this is what we can do, so Im here to do it.
John Lennon was shot dead in New York City on 8 December 1980 at age 40.
His murderer, Mark David Chapman, has been in prison ever since and has been denied parole 10 times.
