Beatles Day Goes Global
BEATLES DAY 09 was officially launched today by John Lennon’s sister – Julia Baird and TV star Ricky Tomlinson at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. Julia is a Trustee of the newly formed Beatles Day Foundation and Ricky is a Patron of the charity. She and Ricky handed over cheques raised by the Beatles Day appeal last year to the Imagine Appeal and Liverpool Unites worth £45,000. The patients and staff on the Oncology ward joined in a singalong to 'She Loves You' and 'I Saw Her Standing There'.
The 10th July will be forever known as BEATLES DAY and that date was chosen for this celebration as it is the anniversary of the Beatles triumphant return to Liverpool from the States and the premiere of the film 'Hard Day's Night' in 1964. The streets were lined with thousands of adoring fans and we intend to re-create the same sort of Beatlemania this year.
