The light in John Lennon's childhood bedroom is left on every year to remember him.
Every year on the anniversary of his death, the National Trust leave the bedroom light on in John Lennon’s childhood home all night.
John grew up in the northern English city of Liverpool with his Aunt Mimi from 1945 to 1964, when he found fame with the Fab Four.
Every year on October 9, the light in his bedroom is left on overnight to commemorate what would have been John's birthday. It is also switched on for one night on December 8, to mark the day John passed away.
Ono bought the home in Liverpool's Woolton suburb in 2002 and later donated it to the National Trust to protect it from being developed or destroyed. The National Trust is a conservation charity that protects and preserves important sites in the United Kingdom.
The Trust confirmed that the light is turned on at Lennon's home to commemorate the legend who this year would have turned 83.
It described the home as "a fine example of 1950s semi-detached housing" and "was lovingly maintained by John's Aunt Mimi."
"Neat and tidy, yet still cozy. It's a real home," the Trust website reads.
The Trust also maintains the home of Paul McCartney, with tours available for visitors "to step back in time and experience the humble beginnings of two of the greatest songwriters of all time."
"These properties offer a unique glimpse into the early lives of two of the world's most famous musicians, and we are proud to be able to preserve and share their heritage and stories with the public, in particular the next generation of talented musicians," said Mike Innerdale, director of the National Trust's North Region.
