Beatles statue unveiled in Liverpool, 4 December 2015.

A magnificent bronze statue of Liverpool's most famous sons was unveiled at the Pier Head on Friday, 4 December 2015 – 50 years after The Beatles made their final appearance in the city of their birth. The huge, 1.2 ton statue is the work of sculptor Andy Edwards from an original idea by Chris Butler of Castle Fine Art Foundry which has premises in the nearby Baltic Quarter. The statue was unveiled by Julia Baird, John Lennon's half-sister, and was generously gifted to the City of Liverpool by the Cavern Club.

From the moment of its unveiling, the 'Four Lads from Liverpool' statue has quickly become a popular new tourist attraction, located directly in front of the iconic 'Three Graces' buildings, with visitors queuing up to have their photographs taken in front of it.
