A centre named after John Lennon is to be created at a children's hospital in his home city. Plans for the John Lennon Foundation for Children's Health at Alder Hey Children's Hospital will be launched by the ex-Beatle's widow, Yoko Ono.
Ono will unveil an outline for the foundation, to be based at Alder Hey, on a visit to the hospital on 25 May.
She will also attend a fund-raising ball for the hospital's charity Imagine Appeal which Ono supports.
The ball is the first major event for the Imagine charity, which Ono launched in October 2005.
Liverpool's airport is also named after Lennon.
He was born in 1940 in Liverpool's Oxford Street Maternity Hospital and died in 1980 when he was shot outside his New York apartment building.
