BEATLES SCHOOL BANS SIGHTSEER SNAPS
BEATLES fans have been banned from taking photos of pupils at a Liverpool= school attended by Fab Four members JOHN LENNON and GEORGE HARRISON - be= cause of fears for their safety.
Dovedale Junior School is a Mecca for fans of the pop legends who flock= to Liverpool from around the globe to visit landmarks in the lives of Be= atles Lennon, Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.
But hundreds of sightseers catching snapshots of kids playing on school= grounds have provoked concern from parents and prompted school bosses to= set up strict new rules about what fans can and cannot capture on film.
Devotees will still be allowed to photograph the building, but huge new= signs warn the playground is out of bounds.
Head teacher Nik Smith explains, "At times it can be quite difficult to= explain that taking photographs while the children are out on the playgr= ound is not allowed as many of the tourists are foreign and the language = barrier can be a difficulty.
"We thought that a sign is universal and is self explanatory. We do try= to encourage tourists to come to the front of the buildings to take a ph= otograph where there are no children."
