'We want to pay homage to all of our city's stars'

BEATLES MUSEUM'S SCOUSE HALL OF FAME

- By ELEANOR BARLOW

A MUSEUM dedicated to Liverpool's most famous musicians, The Beatles, will honour the city’s other stars in a “hall of fame”.

Eighty-five names have been chosen to form the Liverpool Legends Hall of Fame and an exhibition of their items, including Sir Ken Dodd's tickling stick and Jim Royle’s vest, will open with a red carpet event at the Liverpool Beatles Museum on Thursday.

Museum owner Roag Best, whose brother Pete was a drummer for The Beatles before they found worldwide fame, said: “As everyone is aware, John, Paul, George and Ringo are Liverpool's most famous sons, but they are not the only people who have made our city famous.

“There are lots of other well known sons and daughters of Liverpool and we want to pay homage to them.”
