"Peace and love!" everyone shouts in unison.

To the delight of the crowd, Starr's friends and family, partly led by saxophonist Mark Rivera, begin to sing a John Lennon anthem.

"All we are saying, is give peace a chance." Starr sings the last line loudly into the microphone, waving both hands in the signature "peace" sign high in the air.

The crowd watching is hugging, laughing and crying.

Happy 72nd birthday, Ringo Starr.
