Paul calls for George tribute Dec 14 2001

 

By Paul Kennedy, Liverpool Echo

 

SIR Paul McCartney says the best way to remember his friend George Harrison is to create a meditation centre.

 

The former Beatle said George would not have wanted any fuss - but if there was to be a memorial it should be somewhere "calm, quiet and away from the hurly-burly".

 

Council chiefs in Liverpool want to honour George by creating a permanent memorial to the musician.

 

But according to Sir Paul, it should be built in the form of a meditation centre or garden area.

 

Speaking in an interview on BBC North West Tonight, yesterday, Sir Paul spoke of the last time he saw George, who died two weeks ago in America after a long fight with cancer.

 

He told how for two hours he held the hand of his lifelong friend since their boyhood days in Liverpool.

 

Sir Paul said: "All the time I'd known him I'd never held his hand - it's not the sort of thing you do when you're in a group."

 

Council leader Mike Storey said one possible site is at the orchid collection in Harthill, Allerton. The council is looking to bring the collection back on public display after more than 10 years. The meditation garden could be incorporated into the scheme.
