Earlier in the day people had covered the square in chalk graffiti, sending messages of peace to the world.

The bell tower at the University of Leuven's library also played the song.

Hope must survive. That’s why the University Library carillon played John Lennon’s Imagine tonight. #Brussels

At least 30 people are said to have been killed in a series of explosions in Belgium's capital. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
