Ono unveils Lennon tower
(Wednesday October 10, 2007 10:32 AM)
Yoko Ono opened a tower of light in Iceland yesterday, dedicated to her late husband John Lennon.
The peace monument was unveiled in Reykjavic on what would have been his 67th birthday, with Ringo Starr amongst the guests in attendance.
The "Imagine Peace Tower" was designed by Ono some 40 years ago, and has been realised with the assistance of Icelandic and Japanese engineers.
It consists of a beam of light rising from a wishing well and featuring the words 'Imagine Peace' in 24 languages.
Speaking about the monument, Ono said: "I hope that when the light from the tower will shine, the world will pause for a time and imagine peace."
Powered by geothermal energy, it will be lit annually on October 9 until December 8, the day on which the former Beatle was murdered.
