The late writer Christopher Hitchens is to be given a biennial peace prize in memory of John Lennon.
He is among the recipients of the LennonOno Grant For Peace which will be awarded next month by Lennon's widow Yoko Ono.
Hitchens – who died last year – was an outspoken atheist who criticised many powerful figures.
