Yoko Ono has issued a statement today (December 7) reflecting on the eve of the anniversary of her late husband John Lennon‘s death.
The message of peace includes a link to to the Imaginepeace website, from where you will be able to download free ‘War Is Over’ artwork as well as a video tomorrow.
The website also has a letter that Yoko has written to Lennon.
The message reads:
“Dear Friends
This December 8th is the 27th anniversary of John Lennon’s passing.
Please visit www.IMAGINEPEACE.com at any time on Dec 8th for a special message & video.
WAR IS OVER! artwork is now available for download here.
Please print & display in your window, workplace, school, street, car, computer & elsewhere over the holiday season.
On December 8th, 11.15pm (your local time) please remember John by taking a moment of quiet reflection. If you would like to play or sing “Imagine” and IMAGINE a world of PEACE, we will all be together at that moment in every time zone as IMAGINE PEACE makes its way around the world – every hour for 24 hours.
Please send in stories & photos of what you did on December 8th to stories@imaginepeace.com and tell us of your experiences. That would be lovely!
