Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried along with her name, nobody came (1895–1939) St Peter's Parish Church #Liverpool
All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Eleanor Rigby is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1966 album Revolver. It was also issued on a double A-side single, paired with Yellow Submarine . Credited to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership, the song is one of only a few in which John Lennon and Paul McCartney later disputed primary authorship. Eyewitness testimony from several independent sources, including George Martin and Pete Shotton, supports McCartney's claim to authorship. McCartney's recollection of how he chose the name of his protagonist came under scrutiny in the 1980s, after a headstone engraved with the name "Eleanor Rigby" was discovered in the churchyard of St Peter's Parish Church in Woolton, in Liverpool. Part of a well-known local family, Rigby had died in 1939 at the age of 44. Close by was a headstone bearing the name McKenzie. St Peter's was where Lennon attended Sunday school as a boy, and he and McCartney first met at the church fête there in July 1957. McCartney has said that while he often walked through the churchyard, he had no recollection of ever seeing Rigby's grave. He attributed the coincidence to a product of his subconscious. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Rigby" rel="noreferrer nofollow en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Rigby

Let me take you down, Cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real, And nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Field is a visitor attraction and training centre in Liverpool owned and operated by the Salvation Army. The site served as a children's home from 1936 to 2005 and was immortalised by the Beatles' single Strawberry Fields Forever in 1967. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Field" rel="noreferrer nofollow en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Field CC BY portrait of John Lennon in 1974 by Tony Barnard for the Los Angeles Times via Wikimedia Commons w.wiki/Cw52" rel="noreferrer nofollow w.wiki/Cw52
