Ringo Starr marries Maureen Cox

Twenty-two days after he proposed to her in the Ad Lib Club, London, Ringo Starr married Maureen Cox at the city’s Caxton Hall Register Office.

The guests included John Lennon and George Harrison, and Brian Epstein was the best man. Paul McCartney was on holiday in Portugal at the time, so was unable to attend. The registrar was Mr D A Boreham.

Following the wedding the happy couple drove to Hove, Sussex, where they enjoyed a short honeymoon at the Princes Crescent home of The Beatles’ solicitor David Jacobs.
