The Day John Lennon Died features an exclusive, moving interview with John’s widow Yoko Ono Lennon, the only interview she is giving to mark this significant anniversary outside the US. She recalls their life together and the events of that last terrible day.
The programme also features an interview with Lennon fan Liam Gallagher who visits the site of the Beatles last ever concert in 1969 on the roof of the Apple building in London’s Savile Row. He tells the programme why John Lennon had such an impact on his life and career.

'Jay Hastings mantuvo esa camisa durante todos estos años y nunca habló de ello. Ahora sintió que es el mejor momento para venderla', dijo Garry Shrum, de Heritage Auctions.
Además, dijo que Hastings consideró que se estaba haciendo mayor y sintió que era el momento de venderlo. No como algo macabro sino como 'parte de la historia de cómo trató de ayudar a John Lennon en los últimos minutos de su vida'.
