Notes: Having been driven from Paris to Amsterdam early in the morning, John Lennon and Yoko Ono checked into the Hilton Hotel, where they staged the first of two bed-ins for peace.

The world`s press were invited into the room between 9am and 9pm each day. Reporters were unsure of what to expect, and
following the controversy surrounding the Two Virgins album cover some expected the couple to have sex before them.

Instead the reporters found Lennon and Ono sitting in their bed, talking about peace and surrounded by signs stating "Hair Peace" and "Bed Peace".

ITN cameras were on hand to capture their arrival & interview the next day.
