The claim that Lennon & Ono were married in the Rock Hotel is entirely untrue, nor is there any evidence they went there at all. The wedding took place in the Registry Office, which now forms part of the Magistrates Court Complex, in Town Range, Gibraltar.
"They went directly to the British Consulate Office, where they were married during a 10-minute ceremony performed by registrar Cecil Wheeler. As Gibraltar was a British colony, and Lennon was a British citizen, and they were able to go ahead at short notice......Within the hour Lennon and Ono had reboarded their aeroplane and were en route back to the Parisian hotel, the Plaza Athénée, where they had stayed on 16 March."
