Lennon bed stunt to be commemorated in Florida

29/09/2009

A cultural centre in Florida, US, is hosting a special exhibition to mark the birthday of John Lennon and document his famous bed-in protest with Yoko Ono.

The Give Peace a Chance event is being held at the Old School Square Cultural Arts Center on Delray Beach from October 5 to 11.

October 9 will feature a birthday party for the late star, with the exhibition including a recreation of the pro-peace bed stunt.

Visitors will also be permitted to add a note about world peace to a tree which will be sent on to Yoko Ono.

Victoria Rehberg of ArtVision Exhibitions said: "These images were hidden away for over 35 years. It's like sitting on the edge of the bed and watching history unfold.

"We've also had a huge response to our plan to include student art inspired by the idea of peace."

Yoko Ono recently confessed to being not only a fan of The Beatles, but also Take That, when speaking at an award show in London in September.
