John Lennon fans gather Central Park's Strawberry Fields to commemorate icon's death 44 years ago
Dedicated fans of the legendary Beatles musician John Lennon converged on Strawberry Fields in Central Park Sunday to dance, sing and remember the icon’s tragic death 44 years ago.
“We’ve even had binoculars and seen Yoko Ono looking out the window up there watching,” Kelleher said, gesturing to The Dakota Apartments on 72nd Street, where she and Lennon lived before his death.

Kit Stolz, a 70-year-old Californian, who was among some 300 people at Strawberry Fields, came with partner Valeria Levette. He can never forget that day — it is, after all, his own birthday.“I’m a huge Lennon fan, and naturally it’s very sad,” he said. “He was killed on my birthday. So I thought, ‘Well, this is a way to take the taint off the day.'”“There are so many different types of people, really, very diverse,” Levette added.
“When I was 20 years old, John passed, and I was here with some friends, and I bought this shirt,” he said, referencing the Beatles shirt he wore.“They handed this out to everybody at the vigil 44 years ago,” he said. “And every year, we burn it a little bit. As you can see, it’s getting a little shorter … my son, he’s the keeper of the holy flame!”
