Ex-Beatle Ringo Starr celebrated his 68th birthday in Chicago giving out messages of peace and love - along with dessert.

Fans surrounded the former Fab Four drummer as he waited for the clock to strike noon at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Then he flashed peace signs with both hands in the air and yelled: "Twelve o'clock - peace and love!"

The crowd of about 300 sang Happy Birthday to Starr, who passed around white-iced cupcakes with his wife Barbara Bach.

He said his dream for the day was to spread peace and love.

Starr and his band are playing a concert in Chicago on Sunday.
