The Starr of Beverly Hills was born 81 years ago on July 7, and this past Wednesday, the Courier was invited to participate in the birthday celebration. At noon PST, Ringo Starr spoke his iconic phraseology, with his hand gesture, wishing everyone around the globe “Peace & Love” before his guests sang him “Happy Birthday.” It was a special and heartfelt moment as his friends and family, even his son Jason Starkey calling on his cell phone, along with the international press, encircled Ringo and his wife Barbara, standing in front of his acclaimed “Peace & Love” hand sculpture, one of the cherished installations in Beverly Gardens Park.
