John Lennon looks set to illuminate Liverpool once again – but this time it will be two 10ft tall figures of the former Beatle that fans are looking at.
The Lennon ‘replicas’ have been brought by the owner of Lathom Hall in Seaforth, a venue that saw ten performances by the Beatles in the early 1960s.
The figures were originally used in 2001 in an advertising campaign for the local pie company, Hollands.
The pie-faced designs were hung from lampposts in Blackpool as part of the town’s infamous illuminations.
Mr Corrigan, owner of Lathom Hall, said that people from all over the world would come to see the figures because of the Beatles’ association with his venue.
"I think it's the only original stage that the Beatles actually played on that is still here - so I'm really please the figures are here, they'll just add to everything,” he told the BBC.
