Beatles manager Brian Epstein has been honoured with a new statue in Liverpool, the first of an LGBTQ+ figure in Liverpool's city centre.
Recently installed in Whitechapel, in the Metquarter, it was funded by Liverpool BID Company and championed by the Beatles Legacy Group. It is hoped that the statue will help contribute to Liverpool's multi-million pound Beatles tourism industry.
The Brian Epstein Legacy Project has led the statue campaign for the last five years and their goal was made a reality after the success of their Crowdfunding.
