Yoko to unveil light and peace tower

Yoko Ono is unveiling a Peace Tower of light in Iceland on what would have been John Lennon's 67th birthday.

Yoko Ono will unveil a 'light tower' in Iceland today, on what would have been John Lennon's 67th birthday. The tower celebrates Lennon's passion for, erm, light. No, that's not right. No, it's a 'peace' tower of light, designed to celebrate Lennon's desire for world peace. That's it. More at http://www.imaginepeace.com site.

Here's what Ono says: "On October 9th I hope that the world will pause for a time and imagine peace. I am unveiling the Peace Tower in memory of John. I am thrilled to do it in Iceland, a unique and beautiful country in which 80 per cent of the energy is provided by water, not oil. The air, water and earth are surprisingly pure and clean, as a result. I hope that the light from the tower will shine, not just physically on those present at the unveiling, but will be beamed across the world so that the message of peace will be delivered to all people. IMAGINE PEACE!"

So, go on then, imagine a world in peace. I hope you've got a good imagination.
