The world greeted him with sirens and bomb explosions: that night, Hitler's aircraft made another devastating raid on the city.

John's father, Fred, was a steward on a merchant ship and hardly ever went home.
In 1942, Lennon's mother, Julia, was told that her husband was missing.
It was no longer possible for her to raise her son alone.
So 18 month old John was in the care of one of Julia's sisters, Mimi Stanley.
At the age of 4, John entered an elementary school near the famous Penny Lane street today.
He began composing himself quite early, mostly poems, which he illustrated himself.
In 1952, John moved from an elementary school to a secondary school, which was called "Quarry Bank High School".
It was a typical English school with strict discipline and a strict schedule that was not inferior to the institute.
John, with his unbridled character, never became at least an average student in it, for example, from the very beginning he declared war on the school rules of behavior.
The only subjects in which John showed interest and in which he demonstrated remarkable abilities were drawing, English and literature, although even here his inclinations did not coincide with the curriculum.
He still composed short poems, drew cartoons and simply made sketches, sometimes of indecent content.
He wasnot interested in music at all then.
Until the beginning of 1956, Lennon only watched as new music absorbed peers one by one, as rock and roll became not just a musical style, but a style of clothing, behavior, and life.
Bill Haley's song "Rock Around The Clock", which led the British hit parade in January 1956, had not yet convinced him, but in February a new Elvis Presley song "Heartbreak Hotel" was broadcast on the radio, and John was absolutely conquered.
He persuaded Mimi to buy him a used guitar.
Julia knew how to play the banjo a little and willingly helped John master the simplest chords.
The new music required at least some playing skills, so John decided that for now he would be satisfied with a skiffle an original synthesis of American country music and British folk traditions.
He did not spend a long time puzzling over the composition of his ensemble, but included Pete Shotton, Nigel Whalley and Ivan Vaughan - his closest friends.
They named the band after the school - "Quarrymen".
Soon the ensemble was joined by Rod Davis, Eric Griffiths and Colin Hanton.
At first, they rarely performed - at festivals in youth clubs, at skiffle group competitions.
On July 6, 1957, the band played at a celebration in the garden of the Church of St.Peter.
Ivan Vaughan invited a school friend to the concert with him, who played the guitar excellently and could interest John.
The friend's name was Paul McCartney.
John liked the Floor, but he tried not to show it.
Only when McCartney sang Eddie Cochran's brand new smash hit "Twenty Flight Rock" John could not resist and asked to copy the words.
A week later, Lennon, through Pete, invited Paul to join the band.
John visited the school from time to time, and it is not surprising that he failed all the exams.
In the end, the director took pity on him and gave him a recommendation for admission to the Liverpool Art College.
On July 15, 1958, Julia Lennon was hit by a car.
As John later recalled, he experienced the biggest shock of his life at that moment.
And it's hard to say how all this would have ended if it hadnot been for Paul, not rock and roll and not new friends from college.
One of John's new friends was Stuart Sutcliffe, an extremely talented art student.
They were interesting and understandable to each other.
Stewart, under the influence of John, became interested in rock and roll.
At art college, John met Cynthia Powell.
They dated, then went to live with Cynthia.
Cynthia was quite sure that sooner or later John would leave her, and when she told him in the summer of 1962 that she was pregnant, she was genuinely surprised by his proposal to get married.
The wedding took place on August 23.
In November 1966, John met in London with the Japanese avant garde artist Yoko Ono, who came to England with an exhibition of her works.
On November 8, John divorced Cynthia.
Their son Julian was 5 years old at the time.
On March 20, 1969, the marriage of John Lennon and Yoko Ono was registered in Gibraltar.
On May 26, John and Yoko, having settled in a room at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, began an eight day recumbent demonstration for peace.
For eight days they sat in their pajamas under blankets, talking with friends and giving interviews to journalists.
On the seventh day (June 1), Lennon impromptu composed the song "Give Peace A Chance".
On September 13, 1969, the debut concert of the band "The Plastic Ono Band"took place.
The ensemble then included Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman and Alan White.
By this time, Lennon had already announced to Paul, George and Ringo his decision to leave the Beatles.
The reason for this step was the refusal of McCartney and Harrison to record the song "Cold Turkey"as a quartet.
Paul and George thought she was too weak for the Beatles.
John recorded the song with the band "Plastic Ono Band" and released it as a single in October.
Perhaps none of the rock musicians in the press in 1969 did not pay as much attention as John Lennon.
On December 5, he and Yoko Ono organized an anti war concert under the slogan "War Is Over (If You Want)" - " The war will end (If you want it)".
On December 30, British television dedicated a special program to Lennon, naming him among the three political figures of the decade, that is, putting him side by side with Mao Zedong and John Kennedy.
The year 1970 began no less violently for him.
On January 5, John announced in Denmark that from now on he will spend all the income from songs and records on organizing the struggle for peace.
In March 1971, Lennon released a single with his song "Power To The People" ("Power to the people").
In the summer of the same year, John and Yoko participated in a protest march against the use of British troops in Northern Ireland, held a series of actions in support of the strike of Scottish shipbuilders, and on September 3 flew from London to New York.
John Lennon never returned to his homeland again.
When he arrived in the United States, he immediately joined the struggle for the civil rights of the Indians, for the easing of the regime in local prisons.
On March 23, 1973, the authorities issued Yoko an official permit for permanent residence in the United States.
On the same day, John Lennon was ordered to leave the country within 2 months.
This step could be regarded as an attempt to drive a wedge between John and Yoko.
Whether for this or for other reasons, but by the fall they really had a serious quarrel, so much so that they parted for more than a year.
In music, his last major political action was the double album "Some Time In New York City" (1972).
The album was not a success: an excessive dose of" current politics " in the songs turned out to be disastrous, which John himself later admitted in an interview.
The album "Mind Games" (1973) was designed in a completely different way.
By 1975, John and Yoko were living together again.
On October 9, 1975, their son Sean was born, and Lennon decided to leave the world of music and show business for a while for him.
This "for a while" resulted in five long years, during which John was an exemplary "householder" and father.
He crossed the threshold of the recording studio again only on August 4, 1980, when he began work on the album "Double Fantasy".
Released in November, the CD impressed listeners with its freshness, sophistication of melodies and arrangements, depth and clarity of texts.
In those days, John and Yoko often gave long interviews to journalists.
John was willing to share his plans.
On December 8, 1980, at about 11 o'clock in the evening, a maniac named Mark David Chapman struck him down with five shots at point blank range.
On the way to the hospital, John Lennon died.
