Coventry Cathedral's event remembers a trip to the city by John Lennon and Yoko Ono to plant acorns.
It was supposed to be a poignant message of peace - John Lennon and Yoko Ono planting acorns in the grounds of Coventry Cathedral in 1968 for what they hoped would become a "living sculpture".
John, Yoko and the acorns travelled to the city in his white Rolls Royce, famously equipped with a record player and telephone. Pete Chambers, of Coventy Music Museum said members of the cathedral made the mistake of questioning Yoko on whether the project was even art."Later John got his trusty chauffeur to come back to Coventry and take the bench away."Earlier this year they went on display in Liverpool after a retired police officer discovered they had been in his possession.
He said the driver, who looked like a "typical lad about town", and his girlfriend were fans who had returned to the cathedral after the planting ceremony and stolen the acorns, coating them in clear nail varnish to preserve them.Despite the less than peaceful outcome, Yoko never forgot the original meaning of their mission.
