Video: 'BED PEACE starring John Lennon & Yoko Ono' (June 5, 1969, at 1:09:10-1:09:19/1:09:29-1:09:40)

(Thursday, June 5, 1969, 9:00 p.m. EDT; during the Vietnam War) — Following a week-long bed-in for peace in Montreal and a peace conference at the University of Ottawa, John Lennon of The Beatles and his wife, Yoko Ono, flew out of Toronto International Airport tonight, bound for Frankfurt and London, giving up, for now, their hope of holding a bed-in for peace in the United States.

Lennon, who had been denied entry into the U.S. because of his 1968 cannabis conviction, had decided to withdraw his application for an extension to his Canadian visa.

Lennon and Ono and her young daughter, Kyoko, finally arrived at Heathrow Airport in London on the following afternoon, June 6, 1969.
