Yoko Ono, the widow of John Lennon, arrives in Iceland today to present the Lennon-Ono Peace Prize and to reignite the Imagine Peace Tower on Videy Island in Reykjavik Bay.
The Peace Prize will be presented in Reykjavik at 14.00 tomorrow, 9th October, John Lennon’s birthday, Visir.is reports. Tomorrow evening Ono will sail to Videy Island to light the Peace Tower at 20.00. Last year, at the light’s grand opening, fellow Beatle Ringo Starr accompanied Ono to Videy to commemorate Lennon’s memory and the vision for world peace. Starr is not expected this year.
The Imagine Peace Tower is a short tower with the words “Imagine Peace” inscribed in many languages from which emanates an immensely bright light pointing upwards which can be seen for many miles. The light is intended so shine each year from 9th October (Lennon’s birthday), to 8th December (the day he was assassinated).
The light also shines on New Year’s Eve, the First Day of Summer and possibly other carefully selected days.
I am very proud of Yoko for carrying on the message of her late husband John, The Beatles, The 60’s and many more. While far to many are or have given up, she continues to pursue the very important task of Giving Peace A Chance. We need more people like her. I have been a Beatles fan since May 63 and am very proud to carry on the message as well myself. Love and Peace is what we need. Miss you John Paul W
Hello, ” Imagine Millennium” is the title of one of the works in the “Millennium Plate Project”- I did as a Vancouver BC Canada based ceramic artist. This is a concept using the changeover of the last century as a theme to approach a series of porcelain handmade bowls.Please check out the other work in this project.
I am very influenced by John Lennon, and on his 68th birthday I send him love, as that is what remains, when we pass away. No doubt he watches over his love interests of his family , and I wonder what he would have to say, today about world events?”WAR IS OVER_WE GAVE PEACE A CHANCE”…..Danny Kostyshin Van BC Canada
