The gathering is an annual tradition for fans moved by the Fab Four songwriter's legacy.
The John Lennon Twitter page also shared the startling statistic that over 1,400,000 people have been killed by gun violence in the United States since his death.
Fellow bandmate Paul McCartney spoke out against the gun violence that took the life of his dear friend when he joined the March for Our Lives protest in March.
'As you know, one of my best friends was shot not far from here,' he said.

'It is important to me,' McCartney said of the gun violence protests.
He walked hand in hand with his wife Nancy Shevell and cited John as an inspiration.
'You know I am like everyone. I don't know [if we can end it] but this is what we can do so I am here to do it,' he said.
Lennon's killer Mark David Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life for the singer's murder.
He's been imprisoned ever since and has been denied parole 10 times since he became eligible in 2000.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
