Happy birthday, George!

The late, great Beatle George Harrison – born on February 25, 1943 – would have been 73 today.

Flowers were laid at a Beatles statue to commemorate what would have been the Quiet Beatle's birthday.

Fans of the iconic guitarist decorated the figure in Cavern Walks, off Mathew Street, and held a vigil in his honour.

Liverpool hairdresser Herbert Howe and John James Chambers, founder of the Liverpool Beatles Appreciation Society, lead the tributes in Cavern Walks.

The Beatles’ lead guitarist was born in 1943 in Wavertree ’s Arnold Grove. Often described as the “quiet Beatle”, George became an admirer of Indian mysticism and famously collaborated with sitar player Ravi Shankar.

Following the Beatles’ split, he released a succession of solo albums, the most successful being 1970’s triple album All Things Must Pass and 1987’s Cloud Nine.

He sadly died at the age of 58.
