John Lennon was honored in New York City last night (October 8) via the Empire State Building.
To celebrate what would’ve been his 80th birthday, the top of the iconic NYC building illuminated sky blue light and had a white peace sign on its antenna.
Sean Ono Lennon was on hand to take part in the ceremonial lighting of the building in honor of his father.
