Beatles tattoo ends lonely hearts club

An East Sussex couple have told how they discovered that all you need is love - thanks to The Beatles



Jean Davies met Kevin Robinson when she spotted his massive Fab Four tattoo as she sang a Beatles song.

Jean and her friend Freda, both widows, were walking along Hastings beach after their weekly aqua aerobics class.

"'All we need is a bit of love,' I said to Freda. 'Isn't that a Beatles song?' she replied. We both laughed and started singing 'All You Need Is Love'," said Jean.

As she was singing, a shirtless man lying nearby with a colourful tattoo on his back caught Jean's eye.

As she looked closer she recognised four familiar faces - John, Ringo, Paul and George. Underneath were the words 'Lonely Hearts Club'.

Kevin and Jean soon got chatting and she discovered that he was a divorced carpet fitter who, unsurprisingly, was a massive Beatles fan.

During their conversation she mentioned the aerobics class that she and Freda attended each week and the next time she went she found Kevin waiting outside in his car for her.

"I gave Kevin my phone number and we started seeing each other more and more. Our friendship soon blossomed into love and for the first time in years, I had a spring in my step again," she said.

"When I told Kevin about how I'd been chatting to Freda about the Beatles when I first saw him, he agreed with me that out meeting must be fate."

Jean and Kevin have now been together for three years and have moved to Norfolk and started a new life together.

Michael Joseph Jackson - August 29, 1958 – June 25 2009

King of Pop Michael Jackson has died after a suspected heart attack at home in Los Angeles.



The 50-year-old singer was pronounced dead after being taken to hospital in in a deep coma.

Jackson's brother Jermaine said it was believed he suffered a cardiac arrest in his home in Holmby Hills.

"My brother, the legendary King of Pop, passed away on Thursday, June 25, at 2.26pm.

"We believe he suffered a cardiac arrest at his home, however the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known.

"His personal physician, who was with him at the time, attempted to resuscitate my brother, as did the paramedics who transported him to UCLA Medical Centre in Los Angeles.

"On arrival at 1.14pm a team of doctors including emergency physicians and cardiologists attempted to resuscitate him for one hour but they were unsuccessful."

He asked for the media to respect the Jackson family's privacy during "this tough time".

Jackson was pronounced dead at about 1426 local time (2226 British time).

Fred Corral, of the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, said the cause of death was not known and a post-mortem was due to take place later today.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said the robbery and homicide team was investigating Jackson's death because of its "high profile" but warned reporters not to read anything into this.

Jackson was married twice and leaves three children.

People have been gathering outside the hospital to pay their respects and have descended on the legendary Apollo Theatre in New York and flowers were being placed on Jackson's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

Known as the King of Pop for hit albums that included songs like Thriller and Billie Jean, Jackson's dramatic stage presence and innovative dance moves were imitated by legions of fans around the world.

It was the first day of the school holidays and Donna was getting ready to go to the fair.
“Can I take a Mars bar with me?” she asked her mum.
“No. It’s too _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ will melt in this heat” her mum replied.
“Here’s some _ _ _ _ _ _s instead” she added, giving her a packet of sweets.

Her friends Kelly, Eric and Stewart arrived and her dad drove them to the fair. It was a _ _ _ _ _ /_ _ _ in the back but they did all manage to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in.
After dropping them off, Donna arranged to meet her dad in the car park in a few hours. She was really looking forward to the rest of the afternoon, especially as the weather was nice.

To _ _ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ was by far the best of _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ _.
“Is your brother coming?” asked Stewart to Eric.
“_ _ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ _ffic jam, but should be joining us later” said Eric explaining that he’d just had a text off him.
The first stall they came to involved having to hook a duck to win a prize. They all had a go and Kelly got one straight away. She thought herself quite lucky though, as when she looked at the
_ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ _ _ had she noticed it had a very small hook on the end.

“Oh _ _ _ /_ _ _ _us” shouted Eric.
The rest of the group turned around to see that he’d dropped his _ _ _ _ _ _ _ /_ _ _cream and it was all over his t-shirt.
They were all having a great time and after a few more rides, Eric and Stewart decided to go into the haunted house.

“_ /_ _ _ _ _ and Donna too frightened to come in?” asked Eric to Stewart.
When they’d finished, Eric and Stewart went to get some food, but realised they’d spent all of their money already. After a bit of persuasion though the _ _ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _ them to borrow some of their money on the condition that they would _ _ _ _ the food with them.

Then, just as they were walking out of the fair, Frank arrived. Rather sarcastically,

“Because you took so long to drive here, you should get some practice on the dodgems!” said Kelly.
“Or you could ask if the driver of the ghost train will take you home!” said Donna.
“Don’t be so _ _ _ _ _ _ /_ _ _ _ _” said Frank as they all walked back to the car park for the trip home.
