The former two bandmates paid tribute at their former frontman's grave in Paris by lighting candles.

They were joined at the Pere Lachaise cemetery by a group of Morrison's fans, who laid flowers while wearing t-shirts bearing the words "40th anniversary".

The grave has long been a pilgrimage site for his fans.

Morrison died in 1971 in the French capital, with the cause of death believed to have been a drug overdose.
