John Lennon 80

The World Will Live As One

9th October 2020 marked what would have been John Lennon's 80th birthday.

To commemorate, we joined with businesses across the city to celebrate #JohnLennon80. At Strawberry Field, we announced the arrival of John's 'Imagine' piano, launched our 'People of Peace' Awards and gathered 'Prayers for Peace', alongside other initiatives.

“The plan to open Strawberry Field to the public for the first time - so people can see a unique exhibition about the home, how and why the song was written by John, and allow visitors to explore the grounds as John did as a child - is very exciting.”
