Liverpool's main Mersey Ferry terminal has officially been renamed after legendary Merseybeat star Gerry Marsden.
The Pier Head site will now be called the Liverpool Gerry Marsden Ferry Terminal after the Gerry and the Pacemakers frontman, who died last January at the age of 78. The much-loved singer will always be associated with the ferry crossings because of his international hit Ferry Cross the Mersey, which is still played every day on the River Explorer Cruises.
Today, Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram, who was a close friend of Gerry's joined the singer's family to unveil a plaque at the official renaming of the terminal. The plaque states: "In honour of Gerry Marsden MBE. A friend and freeman of the ferries. Ferry 'Cross the Mersey."
