Celebrate Ringo Starr’s birthday with Peace and Love event at The Beatles Story

People in Liverpool have been invited to celebrate the birthday of former Beatle Ringo Starr at The Beatles Story museum next month.

The museum will host Liverpool’s official contribution to Ringo Starr’s peace and love initiative, with fans and visitors encouraged to take part in an uplifting initiative.

The Dingle drummer, who turns 86 on 7th July, is inviting people everywhere to pause at 12 noon local time to say, post, or think ‘Peace and Love’ the iconic mantra he has followed for most of his life.

Arrivals will begin from 11:30am with the peace message recorded at noon as fans celebrate Starr’s birthday, the message will be shared on the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer’s Facebook page as a collective moment of global unity.

The Beatles Story have promised VIPs will be in attendance at the event, though these are still to be confirmed at the moment. Pupils from Ringo Starr’s primary school St Silas in Toxteth will be attending, whilst over 100 people from the general public are also expected.

Speaking on why the event is so important, Ringo said:

“I think it’s important every day- and right now the world is going through a madness. Maybe it’ll help. I’m an optimist, not a pessimist.”
