A mural of Ringo Starr has been unveiled on the site of a former pub, streets away from where the Beatles drummer grew up in Liverpool.
The artwork covers the entire wall of the former Empress pub in Toxteth, which Starr paid tribute to on the cover of his first solo album in 1970.
Beatles fans visit the pub regularly, although it closed many years ago.
The piece was painted by Liverpool artist John Culshaw, known for his football-themed murals across the city.
Starr, 81, grew up on Madryn Street in the Dingle area while his mother Elsie worked as a barmaid at the nearby Empress Pub in Admiral Grove.
The musician, who was knighted for his services to music in 2018, also lived at Admiral Grove from the age of six.
Mr Culshaw sketched the original design in late February and unveiled the piece earlier.
There were rumors that the building could be converted into a Beatles-style hotel, but Liverpool City Council planning documents plan to convert the former pub into flats.
