Yoko Ono tells of tender time with John Lennon
Yoko Ono yesterday recalled the tender relationship she shared with John Lennon and said she still felt his spirit with her 30 years after his death.
During a visit to his childhood home in Liverpool, Ono said: "He was a very sweet and gentle person at home, he would make an effort and he would say 'love is something you have to water every day'.
"I don't know how he knew this, but I was lucky to have someone like that with me."
The musician would have been 70 on 9 October had he not been shot outside his New York home in 1980, at the age of 40.
Ono said she felt Lennon was still assisting her in her various endeavours as artist, musician and peace campaigner.
She said: "I'm doing a lot of things now and I think 'well how am I doing it?' and I think that John's probably helping me."
In honour of his birthday, Ono visited Dovedale School in Liverpool where she also opened a new Sure Start children's centre.
