During International Beatleweek last week, I ended up chatting to loads of fellow fans - as you'd expect

One bloke admitted that whenever he spots Beatles vinyl, whether online or crate-digging in shops, he just has to buy it.

I told him he really should try to get help.

He looked at me and said, "Mate, I've already got six or seven copies of it"

Congratulations to Blue Badge Tourist Guides Sean McGregor and Chris Cannon! 🎉

The pair have been part of a small team guiding tours inside the Great Hall at St George's Hall Liverpool — during the rare reveal of its world-renowned Victorian Minton encaustic tiled floor.

Normally hidden beneath a protective covering, the floor is only unveiled for special exhibitions every few years. It's made up of 30,000 hand-crafted tiles by Minton, the firm founded by Thomas Minton in the 1790s in Stoke-on-Trent — the manufacturing base for its famous ceramics and encaustic tiles until 2002.

Throughout the event, Chris & Sean — two of — helped guide thousands of visitors through the neoclassical hall and onto the historic tiles themselves - protective shoe coverings all round, obviously!

The showing ended yesterday (2nd September). The last one was back in 2023, when an estimated 20,000 visitors came to see the floor — and this year's event generated even more buzz, though final visitor numbers aren't in yet.

Well done, chaps! 👏

It always reminds me of a happy dolphin when I see it!

The impressive entrance to Bereys' Buildings on the corner of George Street and Bixteth Street, situated in the heart of Liverpool's historic cotton trading district.

​Completed c. 1870, the Grade II listed building was constructed as a commercial office and warehouse, designed by architect William Culshaw.

​Culshaw also designed, among other notable properties, 19 Abercromby Square for Charles Kuhn Prioleau. Prioleau was the senior partner of Fraser, Trenholm & Company and managed the Confederacy's European banking and financial operations during the American Civil War.

Talk about a royal awkward moment...

On this day in 1924, Liverpool Cathedral’s main section (the Chancel and Transepts) was officially consecrated - marking exactly 20 years since the foundation stone was laid. King George V and Queen Mary arrived to celebrate with a massive crowd of global dignitaries, but thanks to a scheduling mix-up, the royals actually arrived 15 minutes early.

When the notoriously short-tempered King was asked by the Bishop to "kindly wait," George V reportedly exploded. The organisers quickly put him in his place, reminding him: "This service is not for the King but for Almighty God."

The King duly waited, watching the grand processions before the historic ceremony finally got underway.

Here's a short, silent Pathé film of the event.
