with onstage tributes, poems and songs being dedicated to John.

Leading the tributes will be
upcoming Liverpool band MiC LOWRY who will perform a special set dedicated to
the Beatle. The young band were first brought to the attention of the Beatles
Story after Yoko Ono chose them to perform for her when she visited Liverpool
earlier this year.
Fans can register their interest at the
vigil’s Facebook page –
Throughout the evening Beatles
Story will open up parts of their exhibition relating to
John including the iconic ‘White Room’, a recreation of the room from John’s
1971 ‘Imagine’ music video and John’s ‘solo booth’, which homes a pair of his
iconic round glasses.
A dedicated area for fans to
leave their messages of respect to John will also be available.
The evening will draw to a close
with a candlelit walk to the European Peace Monument where fans can pay their
respects to John. Unveiled by Julian and Cynthia Lennon on what would have been
John Lennon's 70th birthday, the European Peace Monument has become a fitting
tribute to John’s enduring message of peace. Located opposite the Echo Arena,
the monument is the perfect place to consider memories of John and the
possibility of world peace.
Martin King of the Beatles
Story says: “This is our fourth John Lennon peace vigil and as last year the numbers
reached the hundreds, we thought that we’d really go for it. For the first time
we’re going to be opening up parts of our exhibition for people to pay their
respects in and we’ve chosen a band that Yoko Ono has recommended.”
