A 24 foot-by-10 foot tapestry honouring the legendary Beatles musician John Lennon was unveiled in front of Yoko Ono, Bono and The Edge at Ellis Island.

The tapestry was commissioned by Art for Amnesty founder Bill Shipsey as a thank you to Ono for giving Amnesty International the rights to record cover versions of Lennon’s post-Beatles songs in 2004, allowing Amnesty to raise over USD 5 million in royalties since, reported New York Daily News.
