The third annual BEATLES DAY hit the city yesterday - and this year it went global!

For 2010, BEATLES DAY Events were simultaneously being held, not only in Liverpool, but in Hamburg, New York, Shanghai, Sydney and Moscow.

BEATLES DAY organiser and promoter of The Summer Pops, Chas Cole said, "We're delighted that cities around the world want to join us to celebrate the legacy of The Beatles.

"Over the last three years, Beatles Day has received huge interest internationally, so to go global is a natural progression for the event.

"It's a fantastic fun day, raising money for some very worthy causes."

Events included a very special charity abseil at Liverpool Cathedral, a variety of bands playing at The Cavern Club and The Cavern Pub on Mathew Street, and a VIP afterparty at Zeligs restaurant Liverpool One.

And the fun culminated in BEATLES DAY - THE CONCERT featuring Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Show at Liverpool Echo Arena as part of The Liverpool Summer Pops Festival.

All proceeds from the annual Beatles Day Event including Beatles Day - The Concert, will go to The Beatles Day Foundation.

The Foundation is a charitable trust that raises money for many worthy causes particularly those improving the health and wellbeing of children and young people.
