  An overview of recent results from LEP concerning the hadronisation process
is presented. Emphasis is placed on the $b$-quark. The first presented analysis
is the measurement of the $b$-quark fragmentation function. It includes a new,
hadronic-model independent method to extract the x-dependence of the
non-perturbative QCD component from the measured fragmentation function. This
is followed by the results of two analyses on, respectively, production rates
of b-excited states and branching fractions of b-quarks to neutral and charged
b-hadrons. Multiplicity in the final state is also discussed concerning the
difference in multiplicities between b and light quark initiated events, and
total multiplicities in three jet events. Finally, recent measurements of
\omega and \eta meson production rates are given.
