The Hari has just opened an exhibition featuring 48 photographs taken by Tommy Hanley, including never-seen-before images of The Beatles and other 60s icons.

Yoko Ono Lennon has even given permission to include a few of Tommy’s iconic shots of John Lennon from her private collection. The exhibition is open until Saturday 2nd April.
