Liverpool trip
This statue, unveiled in December 2015 on Liverpool's waterfront, really needs no explanation. It is The Beatles, Liverpool's most famous export. Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon were all Liverpool born and bred and started their playing career as a band in Liverpool's Cavern Club. The statue commemorates their last public appearance in their own city on 5 December 1965 - over fifty years ago now. I must admit to being a bit horrified when I read that! I was brought up on them, the first pop group I really fixated on. Paul McCartney was my idol as a young teenager but I have come to appreciate just how talented and unique they all were. Their music lives on too. There was no shortage of tourists wanting a 'selfie' in front of the group.
Yes they were a pretty amazing group. The tourist is good to show how big the statues are.
ReplyDeleteJust for a moment I thought that was Yoko trying to get in on the act again!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny - I hadn't seen that sculpture before ... these selfies are a pain - but I'm glad you told us about them and the sculpture - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful! I want to get my pic taken there!
ReplyDeleteI like the casual look of this statue - and your shot including the woman taking a selfie is brilliant :)
ReplyDeleteThat would definitely bring out the tourists.
ReplyDeleteAh! The Beatles. I like the casual style of the statue. It is quite lifelike. The Beatles were a big part of my late teen years.
