		</div><p>Ringo Starr has celebrated his 79th birthday, and offered his advice for staying fit and healthy – “don’t eat a lot of crap”.</p>
<p>The former Beatle marked the milestone with his annual Peace &; Love event, this year held in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Starr, who was accompanied by his wife of 38 years, Barbara Bach, was asked his secret for maintaining his youthful appearance as he approached 80 years old.</p>
<p>He told PA: <em>“There is no secret, you just don’t eat a lot of crap, eat a lot of broccoli and you work out and you enjoy life.”</em></p>
<p>Asked what his birthday wish was, Starr said: <em>“More peace and love, as usual.”</em></p>
<p>Starr has held the Peace &; Love ceremony on his birthday each year since 2008 and asks fans around the world to chant the slogan to “generate a wave of positivity”.</p>
<p>Starr, who was born Richard Starkey in Liverpool in 1940, wore his trademark sunglasses along with a white denim jacket and black trousers as he addressed fans outside the Capitol Records Building in Hollywood on Sunday.</p>
<p>The surrealist filmmaker David Lynch was among the celebrity guests, as well as musician Don Was.</p>
<p>Starr said: <em>“I’m truly grateful for the people who put this together and all the visitors for the support.”</em></p>
<p>As he started the countdown to the “magical moment”, Starr joked: <em>“I think we’ll go by my watch, it’s probably the most expensive.”</em></p>
<p>As the clock struck midday in Los Angeles, Starr led a chorus of “peace and love”, before celebrating by throwing white wristbands bearing the slogan into the audience.</p>
<p>He also blew out the candles on a cake before being serenaded with a rendition of Happy Birthday.</p>
<p>Earlier, Starr was praised as the “best drummer in the world”, as his former Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney wished him a happy birthday.</p>

<p>McCartney posted a picture on Twitter of the pair of them on stage together and wrote: <em>“Happy Birthday to the best drummer in the world. Have a great one @ringostarrmusic.</em></p>
<p><em>“Love, Paul.”</em></p>
<p>Starr and McCartney were joined in the Beatles by John Lennon and George Harrison, and the band are widely considered the most influential in popular music.</p>
