A statue of John Lennon promoting peace has been damaged.
The John Lennon Peace Statue was brought to the end of Penny Lane in August but will now be moved after it was damaged earlier this week. It is unclear how one of the lenses of the former Beatle's iconic glasses was broken off, with vandalism and the effects of the cold weather among the possibilities.
Artist Laura Lian, who created the piece to "inspire a new generation to John’s and Yoko’s message of peace" said it would be going back to the foundry where it was first created to be repaired. She said she hoped it was the "frosty weather" which damaged the statue.
