Notes: Upon returning from their holiday in Greece and India, John & Yoko returned to their media campaigning for peace.
Today John returned his MBE to Buckingham Palace and then called the press to the Apple headquarters in London.

The action was predictably seized on by the media. Lennon gave an interview to David Bellan of BBC Radio Four in which he
explained that he had been "mulling it over" for the past two years, and that the My Lai massacre carried out by the US Army in March 1968 had contributed to his decision.

He also said he had not consulted the other Beatles before returning his MBE, and that he had only accepted it after being
persuaded by Brian Epstein. Lennon also held a press conference in the afternoon at Apple, and filmed an interview for Reuters.
