Liverpool to Celebrate John Lennon with Peace Monument
Baku, October 7 (AZERTAC). A global peace monument is to be unveiled in England `s city of Liverpool on the occasion of John Lennon`s 70th birthday, honoring the world icon and his message of peace. The monument, commissioned by California -based organization Global Peace Initiative, will be presented by John Lennon`s eldest son Julian and first wife Cynthia, at a high-profile gala ceremony in Lennon`s birthplace of Liverpool on his birth date of October 9, during the city`s John Lennon Tribute Season. Taking place from October 9 - December 9, the John Lennon Tribute Season, an extensive season of cultural events, will celebrate what would have been John Lennon`s 70th birthday and also marks the 30th anniversary of his death on December 8.
Named `Peace & Harmony,` the 18-foot monument incorporates a white feather in its design--which, to Julian, is a symbol of both his father`s spirit and of peace. The monument is to be sited in Liverpool`s Chavasse Park, a five-acre green space in the heart of the city overlooking the River Mersey. The monument will be received by the world`s leading permanent Beatles-themed visitor attraction, the Beatles Story in Liverpool, at an event attended by 2,000 dignitaries and fans from around the world, forming the most significant global birthday celebration dedicated to John`s life and work.
