Description
Imagine Peace Tower (Icelandic: Friðarsúlan meaning "the peace column") in Reykjavik - the 'lighthouse' is located on Videy Island and stands 25 metres high. Dedicated to peace, the Peace Tower is inscribed with the lyrics of Lennon's song 'Imagine' translated into 24 languages.
The tower is lit on Lennon's birthday (October 9th) and stays illuminated until the anniversary of his death (December 8th). Every year the tower will send out its light during this time.
Buried underneath the light tower are upward of 500,000 written wishes that Yoko Ono gathered over the years in another project, "The Wishing Tree".
The idea started in 1965 when Ono thought of the tower and presented the idea to Lennon, who expressed interest in creating it. Construction of the tower started on 9 October, 2006 when Ono dedicated the location, and it was officially unveiled on the same date in 2007. In attendance with Ono were son Sean Lennon, bandmate Ringo Starr, and Olivia Harrison, widow of George Harrison, and Olivia's son Dhani Harrison. Paul McCartney was invited, but could not attend due to a court case.
