Phil Spector was among the figures from the music industry who were remembered as part of the Brit Awards.

In September he topped the UK album chart with his posthumous debut release Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon.
US soul singer Bill Withers, who was behind a string of hits in the 1970s including Lean On Me, Lovely Day and Ain’t No Sunshine, was also included on the list.
He died last year from heart complications at the age of 81.
Forces’ Sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn, who died aged 103 in 2020, also featured.
Singer Little Richard, drummer Tony Allen and guitarist Eddie Van Halen were also remembered.
