Citando:
"[anniversary] marked in the most surprising of places.

An event celebrating the life of the former Beatle who passed away in 2001 is being held at Portmeirion in North Wales.

The Italian Renaissance-style village was the distinctive setting for the ‘60s television series The Prisoner and was also a favourite spot for The Beatles with George holding his 50th birthday party there in 1993."

2013-11-17: The story of Freda Kelly (by The Guardian)

... Beatles' secretary for around 10 years:

Citando:
""Paul, you could always rely on. He was the good one. George was very thoughtful – he would always say 'What have you got in your cupboard for me to sign?' Ritchie [Ringo, real name Richard] was always laughing. He was Mr Happy. John was a man of many moods. People think John Lennon was a big, hard man. He had his moments but there was a caring side to him."

By her own admission, Kelly was something of "an innocent" when she started working for the Beatles. "I was Miss Gullible. I was an Irish Catholic who went straight from the Girl Guides into the music business. I didn't know anything about anything."

It was Lennon who explained to her that her boss Epstein was gay – at the time, homosexuality was still illegal. "I remember saying to John: 'I can't make him out. There's something about him.' And he started laughing. He explained it to me in really simple terms. He said: 'Put it this way, if you and he were the last people on a desert island, you'd be safe.'""

E sobre o DVD:
"Good Ol' Freda will be shown on More4 on 10 December, 9pm. It is also available to buy on DVD from 4 December at amazon.co.uk"
