George Harrison's son Dhani is the double of Beatles dad in rare public outing

The son of George Harrison looks almost identical to The Beatles legend almost 22 years after he passed away.

Dhani Harrison has followed in the footsteps of his famous dad and works as a musician, but appeared to put his job on hold for the day as he appeared at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Attending the event which also saw Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla as well as Princess Alexandra in attendance, Dhani, 44, could have easily been mistaken for his late father.

The Úlfur Resurrection hitmaker was joined by his girlfriend, Mereki Beach, who he has been in a relationship with following the breakdown of his marriage in 2016.

Appearing alongside Mereki, the star channelled his dad's famous Sargent Pepper look with a moustache, shaggy haircut and striking black eyebrows.

George and Olivia Harrison's only soon opted for a low-key look for his outing at the regal event, choosing to rock quadruple denim in the shape of blue jeans, a dark blue denim shirt, a denim jacket and a denim flat cap.

Completing his look, Dhani rocked a pair of black leather military-style boots while Mereki chose to slip into a silk black dress, neatly decorated with four embroidered flowers.

The musician has worked his worked his way up to performing at the likes of Lollapalooza and Coachella with his bands thenewno2 and Fistful of Mercy.

Dhani first ventured into music while helping his late dad work on his Brainwashed album – which turned out to be his last, learning all about production and performance.

Following George's traffic death, Dhani went on to complete the album alongside the likes of Jeff Lynne, with the record going on to win a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance following its release in 2002.

Paying tribute to the Liverpudlian on the 20th release of the record, Dhani took to Twitter to share a string of videos from the recording process.

Captioning his upload, he penned: "20 years ago I finished what was, to this day, the most difficult project I've ever worked on; to finish my dad's last album without him. There's no way in the world that had I waited, even a year, to do this, I could've gotten through it," before going on to thank Jeff Lynne, Marc Mann and Ryan Ulyate for "teaching him so much" as well as being "wonderful people".

But while Dhani's last solo record was released in 2017, he most recently wrote and recorded the title track for the Netflix series, Dogs, (2018).
