Если разрешите, поправлю - не "на пути в Америку", а перелет из Цинциннати в Нью Йорк. Битлы вылетели чуть за полночь и приземлились в аэропорту Кеннеди 28 августа 1964 г. в 3 утра (тем не менее, их встречали более 3000 фанов).

A GLOBAL peace monument is to be gifted to the people of Europe on the occasion of John Lennon's 70th birthday. It will be unveiled as part of a gala ceremony in Lennon's birthplace of Liverpool by his eldest son Julian and first wife Cynthia.
Taking place on Lennon's birth date of October 9th, the unveiling of the 18ft monument entitled 'Peace & Harmony' in Liverpool city centre will be attended by two thousand dignitaries and fans from all over the world and will form the most significant global birthday celebration dedicated to John's life and work.
Commissioned by the Global Peace Initiative, an American arts organization dedicated to creating peace monuments around the world to promote global peace, the European Peace Monument has been created by American art prodigy Lauren Voiers in Phoenix, Arizona.
When unveiled in Liverpool's Chavasse Park - a five acre green space in the heart of the city overlooking the River Mersey - it will give hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city the opportunity to celebrate the life and spirit of Lennon and his message of peace.
US artist Lauren Voiers has been asked by Julian to incorporate, within the monument's design, a white feather - which to Julian is a symbol of both his father's spirit and of peace.
As Julian Lennon explains: "One of the things my father said to me was that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be ok, it was by, in some shape or form, presenting me with a white feather."
The unveiling of the monument by the Lennon family is a remarkable moment in Liverpool's cultural history and one that will be remembered for many years to come. And the fact that this event is to be attended by dignitaries from all over the European Union shows the significance of the monument holds to the wider global community.
Jerry Goldman, MD The Beatles Story, Liverpool comments: "Lennon's message of peace is timeless and is one that is now more relevant than ever. We hope that this imposing monument dedicated to John will become a place that people from all over the world will visit to contemplate peace and John Lennon's contribution to it through his music."
The unveiling of the John Lennon Peace Monument will take place on the morning of Saturday 9th October 2010. Joining Julian and Cynthia Lennon will be Ambassadors and other representatives from the EU, Members of Parliament, leaders of the city of Liverpool, the Global Peace Initiative, The Beatles Story, Liverpool ONE and of course the artist Lauren Voiers.
Councillor Wendy Simon, Liverpool City Council's Cabinet Member for Culture and Tourism, added: "This monument will be a fitting way to remember John and an opportunity for everyone to celebrate the legacy that he left for us all - as an artist, a musician and as a campaigner for peace.'
"Liverpool is the ideal destination for such a monument and will be a welcoming place where people can meet under the timeless banner of peace."
The John Lennon Peace Monument is the second peace monument to be gifted by the Global Peace Initiative. The first was gifted to the people of Asia in 2005, was accepted by the President of Singapore and has a permanent home in his country. There are plans for a third monument to be gifted to the people of South America as part of a pledge by the Global Peace Initiative to reach out to all continents with their message.

А пока дом не снесли (если его, не дай Бог, все же снесут), фанаты растаскивают его по кирпичикам...
Souvenir hunters are being condemned for "wanton vandalism" after sections of masonry were hacked off Ringo Starr's birthplace. Fans who are campaigning to halt town hall plans to demolish 9 Madryn Street have been alarmed to find that that chunks of brickwork have been systematically chiselled away in recent days.The Save Madryn Street (SMS) campaign are calling on council chiefs to ensure that the humble three-bedroomed house is protected from attacks by irresponsible fans.
SMS Chairman Philip Coppell said: "We have support fans all over the world who want to see 9 Madryn Street preserved. "But a handful of people have engaged in what can only be described as wanton vandalism - taking hammers and chisels to the brickwork to get souvenirs. We have had messages of support from all over Europe, Russia, Japan, Canada and America from fans who are horrified that the city can even contemplate demolishing the house. "Now we find that the attention that has been heaped on it mean that more and more people are visiting Madryn Street. But because only two houses are still occupied it means that it is very vulnerable to vandalism. "The windows and doors are boarded-up but people are taking hammers and chisels to the place and at least ten bricks have been removed. "It shows that people realise how important the house is and I suppose they think it may be demolished - so they have a go it it themselves. "But we are appealing to fans not to damage the house so we can have a chance to preserve it for everyone. We are seeking meetings with the city council and in the meantime we are calling on the housing department to ensure that number nine is not an open target for vandals. Local campaigners have also won the backing of the nations SAVE Britain's Heritage Group and Liverpool Civic Society.
They have asked English Heritage to awarded listing building status to 9 Madryn Street and four other properties with Beatles links.SAVE spokesman Will Palin said: "We would appeal to fans not to damage the brickwork. It should be kept intact. We believe there is still a strong hope that Madryn Street can be preserved and it should be there for all Beatles fans to enjoy."
A spokesman for Liverpool City Council joined in the plea for Beatles fans to resist the temptation to bag a brick. He said if many more souvenir hunters continues to chip away at the masonry of the Victorian property it could cause the building to become unsafe. He said: "Clearly some of the bricks have been removed."This is almost certainly by souvenir-hunters but they should be aware that if this continues on any scale they could make this property dangerous so we would ask them to desist. So far Liverpool City Council have received a petition with 102 signatures and 203 individual objections to the planned demolition of the historic Welsh Streets of which Madryn Street is one.
Either this self-vandalism is a way of making sure this site becomes a new development or there may be a ton of bricks available on Ebay very soon.
