Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream has paid tribute to John Lennon by naming a new flavour after one of his songs.

The former Beatle's solo single 'Imagine' has inspired the name for a new toffee and fudge-based ice cream from the US firm.

Tubs of 'Imagine Whirled Peace' will have a print of the singer's signature across the front.

A spokesperson for the ice cream makers said: "When Ben & Jerry's wanted to talk about peace, we couldn't think of a better person to exemplify the message than John Lennon.

"Through his art and lyrics he imagined a world without war and asked us all to 'Give Peace a Chance'.

"We hope this whirly mixture of toffee cookies and fudge peace signs enlightens your bellies and souls and makes you ask what you can do to promote peace in your lives."
