p2pnet news | Music:- Today, Yoko Ono wants people to ‘come together’ at the Imagine Peace Tower in Reykjavik, Iceland.

She’s unveiling the memorial to John Lennon on what would have been his 67th birthday, says the Liverpool Echo.

Ono will, “commemorated each year between October 9 and December 8 – the date he was shot and killed in New York in 1981,” says the story, going on:

The words Imagine Peace have been etched in 24 different languages on an internal well wall with the lyrics of Imagine due to be engraved on the structure next year.

Its construction was a collaboration between Yoko Ono, the City of Reykjavik, Reykjavik art museum and Reykjavik Energy.

Almost 500,000 peace messages will be buried in time capsules around the tower and topped with trees, says the story.

“This is the biggest birthday present I gave to John,” One is quoted as saying.

“He’s very, very happy about it, I know.”
