Liverpool’s “number one Beatles fan” who was responsible for getting statues put up of the Fab Four and streets named after their iconic songs has died.
John James Chambers died aged 76 on August 9 at home in his living room, his grandsons Ben, 16, and Louis, 33, told the ECHO. Born and raised on Ashbank Road in Norris Green, Mr Chambers dedicated his life to preserving the memory of Liverpool’s homegrown musical heroes – as well as caring for his ill mum and looking after his beloved cats, Ginger, Tortie and Socks.
Ben describes his grandad as an “angel who touched so many lives” through his celebration of the band, and as a family man who “loved his two girls so much, and his grandkids”.
