    Great!! Very deserving, obviously.

    Thanks for putting the info up. I check here every day for my Beatles updates!

    Good to see. Maybe they'll put one on the Baker Street shop too – last time I looked there was a blue plaque commemorating just John Lennon.

    Just 3 bolts glued into their holes in the brickwork. Wouldn't be surprised if someone will have that away soon

    Popper – the rules are the person has to have been dead for 20 years, and George is also mentioned on the Baker street plaque.
    Paul and Ringo will be on it eventually, but I'll probably be dead by that point!

    Yes, the one with John Lennon on it in Baker Street was placed there in 2003 and replaced by one also mentioning George in 2013. Best seen from the upper deck on a double decker bus – and it has been left alone, so the Savile Row one is likely also safe where it is.

    As soon as I posted I realised the dates didn't work out for George's inclusion. The 20 year rule is for English Heritage, and it has to be a place of domicile too, which would rule out the shop.
    The Baker Street plaque has been placed by an organisation called the Heritage Foundation, who presumably have different rules. But it must be only for dead people hence only the mention of George and John

    I’m glad that the Beatles were acknowledged that there last live concert was performed on this rooftop on January 30, 1969.
