Who was your favourite Beatle?

John and only John. Still miss him.

George - the eyes and the cheekbones!

Paul

John

George

None, Rolling Stones for me.

George. He was a big part of my life (sounds daft but he was). I've driven my family mad with George and The Beatles over the years. George chatted to me and a few other girls through a window once. I floated home.
As often mentioned, I have a photo of myself and a few others on stage with the Beatles.

My sweet George.

Lovely memories GrandmaFrench. George was my favourite to. Sadly missed.

John my favourite, then George. I never could see the attraction in Paul?

Think George is the outright winner here ? I'm going to revisit the Living in the Material World documentary which Martin Scorcese made and which I so enjoyed. Lots of wonderful scenes of the garden which George created in Friar Park, his home in Henley-on-Thames and which he would often work on through the night and so it was floodlit ! Think the film is on Netflix and can thoroughly recommend it to all fans.

Thanks Grandmafrench . I thought I'd seen everything about George but I missed that one.

George!

None of them as a group George lived around the corner from my family in the early 60s. I preferred them as individual singers and writers. John was a fantastic writer and it was tragic when he was killed.

I love them all!
John for his sharp wit, his songs, and for being a mystery.
Paul for his dedication and for being my first love at 13 years.
George for his spirituality.
Ringo for his cheeky sense of humour.

This interview is worth watching!
George and Ringo

Actually, I'm a bit perturbed at all the votes for George. I've always considered him mine.

Kate if you're going to go all proprietorial over 'your George' and just won't share, it'll be the Norty step for you.....and no film. So, think on! ?

No Grandmafrench I won't share. Put me on the norty step and I'll dream of George.

Oh, go on then - we all need some treats in these hard times. I'll just put "My Sweet Lord" on repeat and think how very sad it is that he's gone. ???

George for me aswell. They are before my time (I hate that expression!) but I've loved The Beatles since I became aware of music. My Dad was / is really into the early stuff, and I prefer the later stuff.

In his brilliant book 'One Two Three Four', Craig Brown says that they represent the four elements:
John is fire
Paul is water
George is air
Ringo is earth

George Harrison for me. I was checked him in for a flight back in 1973 and got his autograph. He was utterly charming

I am very surprised by this, I thought Paul was everyone’s favourite!

I am very surprised by this, I thought Paul was everyone’s favourite!

I think that the answers may be a little bit skewed because of George's untimely sad death. He will remain young and beautiful. He never had the chance to do anything annoying or embarrassing.

I think Paul was very popular, but has become a bit annoying and embarrassing. If he had died young he very may have won the GN Most Lovely Beatle competition.

(I'm not bringing the Faul conspiracy theory into it - although I do find if fascinating!)

John was never going to cut it despite dying young. He wasn't a particularly likable character (to say the least).

Although I voted for George, had I been a teenager at the time I would have favoured Ringo or John, depending on my age.

Ooh, lucky you Cwm
He would have been in his prime then. Was he very swoony?

Tbh, the Beatles were a bit before my time too as I was only 7 when they split up, so I knew them more from their solo work. But as I got older I listened more to their music and absolutely loved it.
But in terms of ‘good looks’ it was always going to be George.
Can’t believe he was only 58 when he died.
