Sir Elton John headlined a London concert marking the United Nations World Peace Day.
The event called for a day of global ceasefire and non-violence.
Actor Jude Law jointly organized the concert with the Peace One Day foundation. It came as anti-U.S. and anti-Western protests continued to spread around the world, sparked by a film lampooning the Prophet Mohammad.
Law said this made the concert especially poignant. "I suppose in the end, you know, the unrest will always continue just as bullying will always continue and that's all the more reason for me and everyone else to support this extraordinary organisation."
Organizers said they had hoped for "the largest global reduction of violence ever recorded on one day".
Other performers included popular British pop star James Morrison. But it was Elton John's hit-laden set that was the highlight of the night - with the iconic singer performing such favorites as "Tiny Dancer" and "Bennie and the Jets."
