Fab four festival gets under way
|
|
Liverpool's annual Beatles Week starts, with hundreds of artists lined up for the seven-day tribute to the Fab Four.
The build up to this year's celebration has been overshadowed by the controversy surrounding the scaling back of the Mathew Street festival.
The usual outdoor stages at the event were cut after concerns about health and safety.
Beatles Week will kick off in the Cavern Pub later and there will be events at more than 40 venues.
Hundreds of thousands of people are still expected to visit the city for the celebrations.
