The first of a series of three concerts featured artists Yusuf (Cat Stevens), Razorlight, Newton Faulkner, Eliza Doolittle, Afroreggae, Flawless and English National Ballet. Speakers included Monique Coleman and POD founder and filmmaker Jeremy Gilley and the concert was filmed in HD and broadcast globally. “Peace One Day is calling for a Global Truce on Peace Day 2012. We have a clear strategy and we hope this will be the largest reduction in global violence in recorded history, both domestically and internationally. This day is as much about non-violence in our schools, our homes, workplace and local communities as it is about ceasefire on the international stage. Everyone has a role to play. The O2 Arena show launches a 365-day countdown. I’m so grateful to all the artists for giving their time to help Peace One Day take this message to the people of the world.” Jeremy Gilley, founder of Peace One Day “When I heard about Peace One Day, what they have achieved & what they are now going for, a Global Truce on Peace Day 2012, I had to become involved. You can too. Come to the O2 Arena on 21 September this year and go to www.peaceoneday.org to find out more. POD is a ground breaking initiative and I’m proud to be a part of it.” Eliza Doolittle Less
