The gathering was also an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for largest human peace sign, which is currently 5,814 people. While Ono expected somewhere between 6,000 and 10,000 participants, only the aforementioned 2,000 were recorded.
Additionally, Ono used the event as an opportunity to promo the John Lennon Educational Bus Tour. “New York was a very special place for John—his adopted home—and I’m so happy that the John Lennon Bus is there to celebrate his 75th birthday,” Ono offered.
