Lost John Lennon Relic Found After 40 Years

John Lennon

One of John Lennon strong political statements is heard again 40 years after his first protest. In 1969, as part of his call for peace, the Beatles returned his MBE icon (insignia awarded for an outstanding contribution to the British Empire) at Buckingham Palace, with a note that read, Your Majesty, I am returning my MBE as a protest against Britain involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, our support for America in Vietnam and against Cold Turkey slipping down the charts. He signed the note, With Love, John Lennon.
