The mayor of Liverpool helped unveil a plaque Friday marking the spot where the Beatles arrived in America 50 years ago.
Gary Millar, aided by his deputy mayor Wendy Simon, was surrounded by cheering Beatles fans as the site marker was displayed.

At the JFK celebration marking the 50th anniversary the Beatles’ invasion, Julia Ann LiAntonio of Albertson, N.Y. (left), receives an autograph from Gillian L'Eplattenier, who was a stewardess on the Pan Am flight that brought the Beatles to New York.

 

Charlie Andrews was the first person to greet the Beatles in the U.S.  She was the Pan Am passenger service representative selected to board the plane at JFK and bring the Beatles inside the airport.


Beatles fans cheer, surrounding Liverpool Lord Mayor Gary Millar and Deputy Mayor Wendy Simon (in polka-dot dress) at the dedication of the JFK plaque commemorating the arrival 50 years ago of the Fab Four.

The plaque commemorates the John F. Kennedy Airport terminal where the Beatles arrived on an early afternoon Pan Am flight.
Fans screamed Friday and held up posters recreating placards waved by hysterical fans in 1964, and a stewardess who had worked the historic flight signed autographs.
