We did the Magical Mystery Tour - which is a Bus ride around the City and takes in all of the Beatles Childhood homes plus Strawberry Fields (a Salvation Army Childrens Home - I always thought it was a Psychiatric Hospital !) and Penny Lane - you see all of the places mentioned in the Song - the shelter in the middle of the Roundabout, the Barbers, the Bank ....
Rory & me at Strawberry Fields
The Beatles Story Exhibition at the Albert Dock (with NUS Discount !) was great - a Journey through the early days of Rock'n'Roll with plenty of Film clips, Newsreel of Screaming Girls, old Guitars, John Lennons Specs, Original Contracts, Letters , a Full size Yellow Submarine, a recreation of the Cavern that was used in a Beatles Documentary - the list goes on.
What it brought home to me most was the huge impact the Fabs had not only Musically but Culturally and Socially and it made me wonder if we will ever see another Band that has such a lasting legacy. You can also see how proud the Liverpudlians are of the Beatles and how they put the City onto the World Stage.
