With his round spectacles and unkempt beard, Sean Lennon cut a very family figure as he strolled along the streets of New York earlier this week.

He looked every inch his father's son, and with girlfriend Kemp Muhl by his side in an oversized black felt hat, the pair unwittingly recreated a now iconic 1969 photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Despite almost 40 years separating the images, the resemblance between the two couples was uncanny.

The 32-year-old has more than just style in common with the late Beatle - Sean has also pursued a career as a singer-songwriter.

In October last year, he performed in the BBC Electric Proms alongside his very close friend Mark Ronson.

Sean began dating model Kemp after splitting from his long term love Bijou Phillips in 2004 - the relationship ended bitterly after she slept with his best friend Max LeRoy.
