JOHN’s "IMAGINE" DURING THE MARCH OF UNITY

During the March of Unity, which saw close to two million people take to the streets of Paris in a demonstration of unity and tolerance in the face of terrorism, one person thought the march needed a soundtrack. 

That is why a group of friends whose flat over looked the route of the march played some anthems of peace, including John Lennon’s iconic song Imagine, out to the crowd.

Unsurprisingly the spirit of the day shone through and the demonstrators came together to sing along to the famous tune, before applauding themselves and each other at the song’s conclusion.

Imagine was only one of the many songs played out to the crowd, as the impromptu DJ said: ‘We played a lot of Bob Marley, All You Need is Love by The Beatles, and a bunch of French songs like Douce France, and some Georges Brassens.

‘I don’t remember it all, we played music all afternoon. Imagine was the most successful of them all by far though.’

The March of Unity was in response to the horrific acts of terrorism perpetrated in and around the French capital last week, and has already been been one of the largest and most significant demonstrations in French history.
