The Fab Four
A new statue of the Beatles has been unveiled at Liverpool's Pier Head .
The statue has been donated to the city by the Cavern Club , and coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ last concert in their home city when they played at the Liverpool Empire .
Julia Baird , John Lennon's sister said :
“We’ve got statues and bronzes of people all along this waterfront who have brought their skills, their labour and their love to Liverpool and helped it grow.
It’s very apt that the Beatles are here. What have they done for Liverpool ? What haven’t they done for Liverpool ? ! ”
She added: “ I know John would have loved it . And I bet Paul comes to see it as soon as he comes back here .”
The statue , which weighs in at 1.2 tonnes , was sculpted by Andrew Edwards , who also created the All Together Now Christmas Truce WWI statue , which can be seen elsewhere in my photostream .
