John Lennon, 1940-1980: He gained worldwide fame as the founder, co-songwriter, co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles

[BGM 1: Love Me Do]

John Winston Lennon was born in Liverpool on 9 October 1940, the only child of Fred and Julia Lennon.

His parents split when he was a toddler and he was raised by his aunt, Mary Smith.

But he remained close to Julia, who encouraged him to learn the banjo, later switching to guitar. Tragedy struck when John was 17, when Julia was struck and killed by a car.

His first band was a skiffle group called The Quarrymen, named after his school, Quarry Bank High. A 15-year-old Paul McCartney joined in 1957, followed by George Harrison a year later.

After leaving school, John went to art college in Liverpool, where he met fellow student Stuart Sutcliffe.

Sutcliffe joined the group on bass, and with new drummer Pete Best and a new name, The Beatles, they secured a residency in Hamburg.

The group honed their skills playing wild, all-night concerts in the city's notorious red light district.

Sutcliffe left in 1961 to concentrate on painting - but died shortly afterwards of a brain haemorrhage, an event which deeply affected Lennon.

Back in Liverpool, The Beatles swiftly gained a following and local businessman Brian Epstein became their manager.
