Queen salutes the Beatles
(Tuesday July 10, 2007 08:40 AM)
Her Majesty The Queen saluted the Beatles on Sunday with a special personal message commemorating the 50th anniversary of the legendary band's beginnings.
She noted the anniversary "with much pleasure" and sent "my best wishes to all concerned for a most enjoyable and successful occasion."
The historic moment that led to the formation of the Beatles occurred on Saturday 6th July 1957 when a 16-year-old John Lennon met a just- turned-15 Paul McCartney at a church garden fete in Liverpool.
The message from Her Majesty the Queen was sent to the people of Liverpool who gathered at the site for a re-creation of the original event.
Beatles scholar Martin Lewis, who received the message from Her Majesty, said: "This anniversary marks a momentous occasion in popular culture that literally changed the world. Without Lennon meeting McCartney we would not have had the Beatles as we know them."
Harleyblues note:
YES, the Queen should have included Pete Best in her tribute, he did play with the Silver Beetles than Beatles from 1960-1962 "Once a Beatle always a Beatle"! so lets hear it for Pete he helped in the creation of the Beatle too!
