Eleanor Rigby

Singer Tommy Steele modeled this figure of the character from the Beatles song. It's said that he sold the statue for "Half A Sixpence" but in fact it was a gift to the people of Liverpool and the cost of casting the figure in bronze was met by The Liverpool Echo and unveiled, 3rd December 1982. Steele explained he had placed a number of objects inside the figure: an adventure book (for excitement), a page from the bible (for spiritual guidance), a clover leaf (for good luck), a pair of football boots (for action) and a sonnet (for love)
