IMAGINE PEACE TOWER - OCTOBER 9TH

YOKO ONO UNVEILS THE IMAGINE PEACE TOWER, DEDICATED TO JOHN LENNON, ON HIS
BIRTHDAY, OCTOBER 9TH, IN REYKJAVIK, ICELAND.

"Imagine all the people living life in peace"- John Lennon
"A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
A dream you dream together is reality" - Yoko Ono

Tours to Viðey October 9th:
Tours at 21:30 and 22:30 from Skarfabakki - Sundahöfn harbour.
Price 1.500 ISK per person (includes the ferry and a hot drink at Viðeyjarstofa Restaurant).
Tel: (+354) 533-5055

Imagine Peace Tours after October 9th:

Every night in October the ferry will sail from Skarfabakki pier (Sundahöfn harbour) to Viðey at 20:00.

On weekends during winter the regular ferry timetable is leaving from Skarfabakki at 13:15, 14:15 and 15:15.

On October 9th, which would have been John Lennon's 67th birthday, Yoko Ono
will unveil the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER, the world's first tower made solely by light, dedicated to her late husband, in Reykjavik, Iceland.

In 1967, John Lennon predicted that the conceptual light tower, envisioned
by Yoko Ono, would one day become a reality. On October 9th of this year, exactly 40 years later, IMAGINE PEACE TOWER, a permanent landmark for peace will be unveiled in Reykjavik, Iceland.

IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is surrounded by a Wishing Well Wall on which the words "IMAGINE PEACE" are engraved in 24 languages.

IMAGINE PEACE TOWER gives light and power to the realization of World Peace, which was John Lennon's lifetime wish, and what he had worked for. For this day, October 9th, 2007, like minded friends from all over the world have been invited to Reykjavik, Iceland to join Yoko Ono for the special ceremony, lending their spiritual power to the tower, and their affirmation of unity for it's unveiling.

Joining those present will be over 100,000 written wishes collected from all over the world through Yoko's Wish Trees presented in differrent countries. They are put in a series of capsules and will be placed on the Island of Videy, surounding IMAGINE PEACE TOWER.

More wishes are being sent every day for IMAGINE PEACE TOWER to the P.O. Box set specially for it in Iceland.  You, of course, are more than welcome to send your wish as well.

Yoko Ono said today; "I have chosen Iceland for IMAGINE PEACE TOWER because
it is a very unique eco-friendly country. 80% of Iceland's energy is
provided by water, not oil. Because of this, the air, water and earth are
surprisingly pure and clean. The energy for the Tower is also provided by water.

I hope the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER will give light to the strong wishes of World Peace from all corners of the planet and give encouragement, inspiration and a sense of solidarity in a world now filled with fear and confusion. Let us come together to realize a peaceful world. I consider myself very fortunate to see the dream my husband and I dreamt together become reality."
