Imagine memorial for Beatle John Lennon, The Dakota and Strawberry Fields in New York.

  1. Today was the day I finally got to see the  large memorial to Lennon, Imagine, on the tip of Strawberry Fields in Central Park, New York.  The visit to the Dakota and the memorial was something I have wanted to do since Yoko had established this area in John’s memory. A very emotional experience.

The Strawberry Fields plaque placed in stone with all the countries names which endorsed this portion of Central Park as a Peace Park. There are over 100 names of those countries, with Canada being one of them.

Walking up to Imagine memorial plaques.

Below is the Imagine memorial.

A small corner Strawberry Fields, Central Park, New York.

Security guard who showed us where John Lennon life was taken on that night almost 39 years ago.  He also shared that John and Yoko’s apartment is on the 7th floor and has white shutters. He told me Yoko still lives there.

This is the gate which John Lennon walked thru almost 39 years ago just before he was shot. Very emotional experience to see this. Such a beautiful place with such tragic memories.

This railing and white shutters designate the 7th floor where Yoko Ono still lives and where she and John Lennon shared their lives at the time he left us.  Below is that side of the Dakota.
