A Beatles fan said John Lennon’s lyrics were more important now than ever before, as he celebrated what would have been the star’s 74th birthday. John James Chambers, from the Liverpool Beatles Appreciation Society, laid flowers at the Beatles statue in Cavern Walks Shopping Centre to mark Lennon’s birthday. The statue was also decorated with tinsel, balloons and banners. And Mr Chambers said the date was a double celebration as it marked 30 years since the statue had been erected. Revd David Baverstock, from Our Lady and St Nicholas Church held a short service to mark the occasion, which was also attended by Cavern Walks manager Mark Taylor. Mr Chambers said: “He gave a beautiful sermon and the theme was Imagine,
Give Peace a Chance and All You Need is Love. “That is the message that we want to give to the world, especially at the moment because of all the war situations and what is going on. “We want Liverpool to lead the way and show the rest of the world that we can learn from John Lennon’s song Imagine.” He said that for the next few days fans would be able to continue to put flowers by the statue.
