No, it's not Lennon and McCartney. Born in 1911 they are celebrating 100 years perched high over Liverpool looking into the city and out across the Mersey. They have seen everything from the First and Second World Wars , the 50s, 60s 70s, 80s, and 90s. Then they smiled again when Liverpool became European Capital of Culture in 2008. Like a Phoenix, the Liver Bird rises and rises again. If they ever take off and fly away Liverpool is no more No chance of that, la s Scousers say. They have seen and heard it all and now , through our new stunning 84 page publication, a Bird's Eye View packed - with Daily Post and ECHO archive photographs and stories with celebrities from the Beatles to Hollywood all recalling why they fell in love with these two world famous characters.
