A New York peace garden memorial to John Lennon has become a shrine to victims of the terrorist attacks

Hundreds of people have visited Strawberry Fields in Central Park to light a candle and lay floral tributes.

The memorial was created by John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono after the former Beatle was assassinated in New York in 1980.

According to the icLiverpool website, one message signed by 'Lauren of NYC' read: "Afghanistan is the first country on the list of countries that have endorsed this space. That is all I have to say."

Another elderly visitor said the garden had become a focus for peace.

A neighbour of Yoko Ono said: "She knows that John would be horrified by the extent of this horrible violence."
