Public memorial service planned for Ravi Shankar

Fans of late sitar legend Ravi Shankar will be able to bid their final farewells to the star at a public memorial in California on Thursday.

The Grammy-winning musician, who is Norah Jones' father, passed away on 11 December at the age of 92.

A public memorial has been arranged for fans and friends of the late legend at the Self-Realization Fellowship in San Diego.

A statement from his family reads, "For those who have some personal relationship with Ravi Shankar and his music, this will be an opportunity to say farewell.

"He was a man of the public, and the public should be able to pay their respects."

Two public concerts in his memory are also being planned in London and New York next year.
