Martin Scorsese, Sir Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, Olivia Harrison and Ringo Starr joined forces for the film screening.

The surviving Beatles have paid tribute to George Harrison at the London premiere of Martin Scorsese's new documentary about his life.

Sir Paul McCartney called the guitarist, who died in 2001, "a great man" and "an all-round good boy".

Scorsese told the BBC he had been drawn to tell Harrison's story because of the outlook of his lyrics.

"For years, his music seemed to be dealing with themes that I connected with," he said.

"I found comfort in them and a hope and a special experience listening to his music. I was fascinated by him."

The Oscar-winning director said Harrison's love of India had changed western culture.

"George was the one to open our minds to this, that this could be of value to you in your life, to you and everyone you love. His music really expresses that."

The documentary, George Harrison: Living In The Material World, will receive a limited cinematic release, before being shown on the BBC in the UK and on HBO in the US.

It is split into two parts - first chronicling the Beatles' rise to fame, then documenting the solo years, when Harrison juggled music with philanthropic work and a career as a movie impresario.

I could have went without Yoko Ono....After all she did destroy them.

Wheres Peter Best?

Ringo is barely a Beatle.

But George was always a class act, and a hell of a talented entertainer.:salute:

Well all I can say is "Let It Be" :D

good ol George "travelling Wilburys" great album

No, she didn't. Even Paul said so.

Still trying to prove he can play better than Ringo. He can't.

He was with them for eight years. Pete only got into the band because his mum owned a nightclub.

Yes he was.
