John and Yoko in the audience at Jimmy Carter's inauguration ball.
During his four years as president:

From NPR's news story:
...Carter, who is the nation's longest-living president, planned much of the funeral with the help of his wife, former first lady Rosalynn Carter, an effort they began decades ago.
Many of their choices rang clear, deliberate and poignant, from the selection of the late president's favorite music to the list of speakers...
Nestled in between remarks was a cover of "Imagine" by John Lennon — known as Carter's favorite song — performed by country stars Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood, friends of the Carters.

When Carter drove by the Dakota building in 1979 (or maybe it was 1980 -- I will have to look) John took Sean outside to watch him go by.
