50 years of Love Me Do
5 October 2012 marks the release of The Beatles first single "Love Me Do"
Lots of anniversary events are taking place in Liverpool to mark this historical moment in music,
a moment that changed the world forever, culturally and musically.

In conjunction with Liverpool City Council and The Beatles Story, on 5 October 2012 in Liverpool there will be an official Record Breaking Sing-A-Long to mark the 50th Anniversary Of 'Love Me Do' - everyone will gather at the Ferry Terminal but click
here for more details. 
If you're going to be in Liverpool why not join thousands of people who will gather in the hope that they make it into the record books.

Update:  People travelled from afar to set a new record and we did it.  The standing record was 897 people set in Chicago in 2011 when they sang Danke Schoen, to mark the 25th anniversary of the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Today 1,631 people sang LOVE ME DO!!!!
