In pictures: John Lennon 'unseen'

An exhibition celebrating the life of John Lennon has opened in London's Proud Gallery. This image of Lennon as a boy was given to photographer Tom Hanley by Lennon's Aunt Mimi.

The exhibition at the Proud Galleries coincides with the 27th anniversary of Lennon's death.

Lennon is captured here during filming of the Magical Mystery Tour in Plymouth, 1967.

Photographer Tom Hanley, who worked with the Beatles throughout the 1960s, said: "John was simply fun to be around."

Photographer Polly Moseley met Lennon and wife Yoko Ono while working on his film Give Peace a Chance.

Lennon and wife Yoko Ono pose with an Exit sign above their heads, surrounded by their own memorabilia.

This image, in which Lennon is sitting at a piano similar to the one used in the Imagine video, is considered iconic.

This photograph by David M. Spindel was taken during the Double Fantasy recording sessions in November 1980.

Spindel first met Lennon at the Hit Factory where Lennon was recording Double Fantasy, his album with Yoko Ono, in 1980.

Fans mourn Lennon's death outside the Dakota Building, New York, where he was shot on 8 December 1980.
