John Lennon meets Yoko Ono for the second time

John Lennon met Yoko Ono for the second time on 22 November 1966.

They had first met on 7 November at the Indica Gallery in Mayfair, London, on the day before her exhibition Unfinished Paintings And Objects was to open.

Their second encounter was at the Robert Fraser Gallery at 69 Duke Street, London, for the launch party of an exhibition by American sculptor Claes Oldenburg. Lennon arrived with Paul McCartney.

The second time I met her at a gallery opening of Claes Oldenburg in London. We were very shy, we nodded at each other and we didn’t know – she was standing behind me, I looked away because I’m very shy with people, especially chicks. We just smiled and stood frozen together in this cocktail party thing.
