That this House looks forward to the first-ever Beatles Day to be celebrated on 10th July; recognises the Fab Four's immense contribution to popular culture which extends far beyond Merseyside; notes that the proceeds from the sale of Beatles' wigs will be split between the Alder Hey Children's Hospital Image appeal and the Liverpool Echo's Liverpool Unites campaign, launched after the murder of 11 year old Rhys Jones in 2007; and urges everyone to join in and wear their moptop with pride.
