Beatle widow wins razor fence row

George Harrison was stabbed seven times at his home in 1999

A razor wire fence around the Oxfordshire home of Beatle George Harrison's widow can be replaced, despite objections from neighbours.

South Oxfordshire District Council gave planning permission for Olivia Harrison to replace the 8ft (2.4m) fence in Henley-on-Thames to maintain security.

Some neighbours had branded the fence "unnecessary and inappropriate".

Actor Rodney Bewes claimed the wire had injured his cat and cost him thousands in vet fees.

The high-security fence was installed after the Beatle, who died aged 58 in November 2001, was stabbed seven times by an intruder who broke into Friar Park in Gravel Hill, Henley, in 1999.
