The Beatles
The Beatles are among the best-selling musical acts of all time
A monument dedicated to The Beatles is to be erected in the German city of Hamburg, where the band launched their international career.

Radio station Oldie 95 said work on the £310,000 monument will begin this year.

The steel structure will represent John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, and early Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe, who died in Hamburg in 1962.

It will be built on a corner of the St Pauli district near clubs where the band played.
