John Lennon 70th Birthday Monument

A celebration of John Lennon's 70th Birthday really couldn't be held anywhere but in his home city of Liverpool. So to celebrate the event a monument has been erected to symbolise peace and harmony, something Lennon beleived strongly in. And who better to open this monument than Cynthia and Julian Lennon. The event brought together 2000 people made up of dignatries, local councillers,celebs and the people of Liverpool themselves.Aided by the fabulous Liverpool deaf choir signing 3 of John Lennon's greatest songs this was defintiley an event well organsied and with John in mind.
One of the highlights of the John Lennon birthday tribute in Liverpool is coming from a young American. Nineteen-year-old Lauren Voiers from Cleveland has created the monument called "Peace and Harmony" that was unveiled in the city's Chavez Park, and she too was there to celebrate the moment. This is just the start of what is to be a 2 month celebration of the man himself. Various events are going to be held across the city from a bed-in by the Bluecoat to a Celebration of John Lennon's work and life in "Lennon Remembered" at the Echo Arena.
A fitting tribute to a legend of the city and a legend within the world of music.
