Asked what he'd like for his birthday next Monday, July 7, Ringo Starr answers, "Just more Peace & Love."

Ringo is planning a global Peace & Love movement, and he's asking for a little help from his friends!

On Monday, July 7, Ringo would like everyone - here, there and everywhere - at Noon local time wherever they are in the world, to join him in making the peace sign and saying, singing, shouting, whispering, signing, writing or quietly thinking one simply beautiful and universal message: "Peace & Love."

"Wherever you are," says Ringo Starr, "Office, home, bus, tube, sitting, standing, walking, alone or with others, doesn't matter -- at Noon on July 7 make the peace sign and think, say, shout, sing 'Peace & Love'."

Ringo will be in Chicago on July 7, where he'll be joined by others at Noon CT at the Buckingham Fountain for a group expression of Peace & Love. CNN will cover the Chicago gathering and other Peace & Love gatherings that day, and Ringo will be interviewed by Larry King for that evening's broadcast of "Larry King Live" on CNN.

Other planned gathering spots include Abbey Road Studios in London, Imagine Peace Tower in Reykjavik, Capitol Records in Hollywood, and Strawberry Fields in NYC's Central Park.

Please join Ringo Starr's worldwide Peace & Love movement next Monday, July 7 at Noon wherever you are!
