Why is Liverpool airport called John Lennon?

Liverpool's international airport used to be called Speke Airport but, in 2001, it was renamed after John Lennon of The Beatles, who was born and raised in the city of Liverpool. This is the first airport in the UK to be named after a person. In 2002, Her Majesty the Queen opened the new terminal.

It's impossible to say for sure why Lennon didn't receive a traditional funeral as the subject has rarely been discussed. John didn't stipulate that he'd liked to be cremated in his will, though he did nominate Ono as the sole inheritor of his estate, which also left her in charge of his funeral, or lack thereof.
