      Saw a photo of the Cilla Black statue in Liverpool There should be more statues of women! I've seen one of Lucille Ball, Queen Victoria, Linda McCartney and now a statue of Cilla. Why aren't there more stone females for "stone feminists" LOL, and to inspire everyone. Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Indira Gandhi, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Pocahontas, Janis Joplin are some I can think of right off the bat who would deserve this honor. Maybe some of these already have one. Was joking around, being silly, when I suggested erecting statues of the Beatles in place of all the Confederate army luminaries' statues, which offend many. Or statues of great Southern writers. It was cool to see Cilla's.

        I was in Liddypool last week Susy and even close up the statue of Cilla is amazing. Which is more than can be said for the statue(s) of the Beatles just round the corner in Cavern Walks.

        Wembley Empire Pool, London  (Wings) 21st October 1976.

        'Take It Away' video shoot Elstree studios, London 23rd June 1982.

        'Give My Regards To Broad Street' film premier, London 29th November 1984.

        Docklands Arena rehearsal concert, London 5th February 1993.

        Run Devil Run launch party, Equinox Club, London 30th September 1999.

        O2 Arena, London 22nd December 2009.

          Yeah but the ones in Cavern Walks are from 1984... it seems getting an accurate look wasn't important (!) but the new ones at the Pier Head are excellent. Very lifelike. The Cilla one look good, though i did have a chuckle when i saw one of her outstreched hands nearly take someones eye out when they turned round unexpected after taking a picture of the original Cavern doorway!

            They certainly are. You always see people posing with them

            Yes, you have to be very careful as it can get a bit tight in that area.

              The ones at Pier Head are wonderful! I had seen pictures of them before my Liverpool trip of course, but they don't do them justice. I was really surprised at how tall they are.

                Another female statute I saw is Mary Tyler Moore throwing up her hat in Minneapolis
