Forty years ago today, John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged a bed-in for peace at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Canada. Photojournalist Gerry Deiter captured it on camera, but his pictures have never been seen until now. They form part of an exhibition, Give Peace A Chance: John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Bed-In For Peace, showing at The Beatles Story in Liverpool until 15 August, 2009

As ever for that era, it may have been a bit too hippiest, but the message is valid today.
