Caption: The Beatles Fans Send Ringo Starr A Message Of 'Peace And Love' On His 85th Birthday. School children from Ringo Starr's alma mater joined with The Beatles fans to mark the drummer's 85th birthday by sending him a message of 'peace and love' from The Beatles Story at Liverpool's Royal Albert Dock on Monday 7 July 2025. Each year on his birthday since 2008, Ringo invites people everywhere to pause at 12 noon local time to say, think, or post “Peace and Love” as a collective moment of global unity. Fans and visitors who took part in this uplifting initiative filmed a special “Peace and Love” moment which has been shared by Ringo himself on his official Facebook page as part of the international celebration. Mary Chadwick, General Manager of The Beatles Story, said: “We were so warmed by the enthusiastic response from the pupils who joined us from Ringo's primary school St Silas.” In honour of Ringo's milestone birthday and lifelong advocacy for peace, The Beatles Story also unveiled the UK's first and only Ringo Starr Peace and Love Sculpture. The sculpture, created using an original casting of Ringo's right hand, symbolically and quite literally shows that Ringo had a hand in spreading peace. The celebration, which marked Ringo Starr's milestone 85th birthday, was held by The Beatles Story with the objective to raise awareness of Ringo Starr's charitable organisation, The Lotus Foundation.
