Unknown footage of John Lennon, Yoko Ono resurfaces after 50 years

Music legend John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono pose for photographers in Cannes 17 May 1971.

The couple spent a week mostly under the sheets at the Hilton hotel to spread a pacifist message -- smoking, eating, singing and playing guitar while receiving journalists for interviews.The European leg of their honeymoon, which included an unusual press conference in Vienna with the glamour pair obscured inside a giant"bag", was a huge media event -- each step captured by photographers and videographers.

It was broadcast only once, shortly after the honeymoon, and shown at the Edinburgh Film Festival the same year before disappearing into the archives of broadcaster KRO, where Jan Hovers was employed in the 1980s. "I asked if I could keep it and they said: 'No problem, it will all be destroyed anyway'," Hovers told the Nieuwsuur current affairs programme broadcast Sunday."I never thought it could be unique material. I thought it was a copy. There was no internet of course, so one could not check."
