Happy 86th Birthday to Sir Ringo Starr, who was born on the 7th July 1940! 🥳 We don't know if Ringo ever visited #Orkney (though Paul McCartney has) but #FunFact DID YOU KNOW that Ringo's great-grandfather was a merchant seaman from #Shetland who moved to Liverpool around 1870?
"When Ringo Starr was ill with tonsillitis, Jimmie Nicol substituted him on drums for 8 concerts and lived a superstar's life for 10 days. Here pictured sitting alone in the Melbourne airport, waiting for the plane that'll take him back to obscurity." Historic Photographs, 1964

Good morning, Blue Sky! "We would be warm below the storm In our little hideaway beneath the waves Resting our head on the seabed In an octopus's garden near a cave We would sing and dance around Because we know, we can't be found" (Happy Birthday, Ringo Starr!)
