Ringo Starr and Sir Paul McCartney have had a reunion with the family of George Harrison to remember the late Beatle.

Olivia Harrison, Ringo Starr and wife Barbara Bach

They were in California attending a screening of a film documenting a concert held last year in memory of the guitarist.

The tribute event at London's Royal Albert Hall included performances by McCartney and Starr as well as by Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Billy Preston and members of Monty Python.

Guitarist Eric Clapton, who was musical director of the star-studded show, also appeared.

Concert for George, which is being released on DVD in November, is being shown at selected US cinemas in October.

John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, also attended last night's screening in Burbank, California, joining Sir Paul's wife, Heather Mills McCartney, and Starr's wife, Barbara Bach.

Harrison's son, Dhani, and widow, Olivia, are donating the film's takings to the Material World Charitable Foundation, established by the guitarist in 1973.

Harrison died of cancer aged 58 in Los Angeles in 2001.
