George Harrison gets a star

Hundreds of fans and friends, including Paul McCartney, turned out Tuesday to see a star for the late George Harrison unveiled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Beatle’s star sits on the sidewalk in front of the Capitol Records building. McCartney, one of only two surviving members of the band, looked on as the star was revealed.

McCartney also offered a shout-out to hundreds of raucous fans, thanking them for showing up.

Also present were Harrison’s widow Olivia, his son Dhani, musicians Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne and actor Tom Hanks.

Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001 at age 58.
