The Beatles: Liverpool Eleanor Rigby statue returns after repairs

A statue inspired by a Beatles song which had an "unfortunate accident" has been returned to public display after repairs, a council has said.

The Eleanor Rigby sculpture on Liverpool's Stanley Street, which depicts the titular heroine of the Fab Four's 1966 song, was unveiled in 1982.

The city council removed it in January after the bench it sat on was damaged.

The work, which was designed by entertainer Tommy Steele, has returned to the street complete with a new seat.

In January, the council said it was initially feared the statue was damaged on purpose, but "following a review of CCTV footage, we can see that the damage... was an unfortunate accident".
