Yoko Ono has been spotted arriving in New York in a wheelchair just weeks after she joined thousands of protesters marching the streets of NYC for women's rights.

The 83-year-old wife of the late Beatle John Lennon arrived at New York's JFK airport on Monday where she was helped through the terminal by an assistant.

Wearing a grey fedora and shielding her face with round sunglasses, the artist and peace activist clutched her bag on her lap and she was pushed out of the terminal.

Ono was spotted wearing a black jacket and trousers, paired with a pair of Nike sneakers and a grey scarf.

It is not clear if Yoko is ill or has trouble walking. 

She is one of the number of celebrities who has been vocal in their opposition to Donald Trump.

Ono joined the rally in New York last month where thousands marched through the streets for women's rights and against the president.

She was pictured smiling and holding hands with Whoopi Goldberg as they rallied.

The 83-year-old, who was in her wheelchair, later tweeted a photo of herself with fellow protesters holding signs reading 'woman power' and 'imagine peace'.

It follows revelations there could be a biopic movie being made on Yoko and Lennon's love story.

Producer Michael De Luca is said to be working with Ono to track her relationship with her late Beatle husband and their anti-war efforts, according to Hollywood Reporter

'The story will focus on ripe and relevant themes of love, courage and activism in the U.S. - with the intention of inspiring today's youth to stand up for and have a clear vision for the world they want,' De Luca said last week. 

'I am also honored and privileged to be working with Yoko Ono, Anthony McCarten and Josh Bratman to tell the story of two amazing global icons.'
