Yoko Ono Lennon said: “John and I were both artists and we were living together, so we inspired each other.
“The song ‘Imagine’ embodied what we believed together at the time. John and I met – he comes from the West and I come from the East – and still we are together.
“We have this oneness and ‘the whole world would eventually become one’ is the sense that we will all be very happy together.
“All these instructions are for people for how to spend eternity, because we have lots of time.”
Fans from around the world can join Yoko and her son Sean Ono Lennon to watch the film together.
