So sorry to hear about the passing of such a beautiful & peace filled man. It was a treat to come to Liverpool and experience the tour. I have two stones from the original building and I cherish the memory of the day I met Dave. He is in a better place and one day we'll see him again and rejoice! 22 December 2011 - Knoxville, Tennessee

It may be a strange thing to say, but today I attended one of the best funerals I have ever been to. It was filled with love and laughter, but most of all, humour. Dave certainly left his mark at St. Peter's, but he will be remembered the world over for his kindness and patience toward international visitors to the Church. He was so proud to have been linked to a wonderful piece of musical history and enjoyed telling all Beatle fans his story from 1957. He will sorely missed by everyone. Shine on Dave. 22 December 2011 - Liverpool

I'm so very sorry to hear of Dave Peters passing. I had the fortune to meet Dave several times while visiting Liverpool. He always had a smile and a warm handshake every time we met. He would give visitors of St. Peters church the history about the Woolton fete in 1957, that he had attended. He was such a kind gentleman and he will be missed tremendously. Visiting Woolton just won't be the same without seeing Dave's smiling face. Our thoughts to Dave's family for their tremendous loss but comfort knowing that will be seeing Dave again. 21 December 2011 - Birmingham, Alabama. USA

Never been to a more uplifting funeral! The send off for Dave Peters today was full of laughter as well as tears. So much love shown for a wonderful man. A true ambassador for Liverpool and Woolton. Thank you Dave from Beatle fans across the Universe. Sadly missed, but never forgotten. 21 December 2011 - Liverpool

I just found out that my great-great-great grandmother was baptized at St. Peter's in Liverpool in 1818. Now I understand that the church was demolished in the 1920's, and I'm wondering where the records from that St. Peter's are kept. Both she and her brother were christened on the same day: December 6, 1818.

I am from Tomoko Japan. I went to your church in the evening 26th Sep. I am sorry I forgot name of the man introduced me to grave of 2 important people and the hall. I did not make any reservation, but he made me show 3 important points and thought me about details of that, and took pictures. I went to there by myself so I was very exiting and had little anxious feeling, but with his worm atmosphere I felt relax. Before I left Japan, I really wanted to see the wall sign of “John and Paul First Met”, I had not think as if I could enter the hall and be thought kindly. It was wonderful time for me. I was deeply impressed. It was highest memory of my trip. Give him and tender women who wore white coat, let me enter the church my best regards. Bye.

I cannot describe how wonderful it was to eventually get to Woolton Village and St. Peter's Church on 26th May 2010 to meet Graham and see where "it all began" on that fateful day of 6th July 1957 when John Lennon met Paul McCartney and changed the face of popular music forever. It was magic to be shown round by Graham and to go into the church hall where Bill (my husband) and I were treated to a musical history lesson about that special day in July and also to hear about so many other wonderful facts concerning the Quarrymen and the churchyard. We also enjoyed seeing the tributes and memorabilia on the walls in the hall. It was a fantastic highlight to our Liverpool trip. We come down often as we love the "Liverpool atmosphere", but this trip was extra special!! Thank you SO much Graham for your time and patience, not to mention all the little anecdotes you told us on our tour! 27 May 2010 - Musselburgh,Scotland

In May 2009 we visited St Peters Church on our tour of the Beatles and after 1/2 hour of looking round I was lucky enough to meet Dave Peters who was kind enough to show us around St Peters and the church hall telling us all about how Paul and John met. My daughter of 16 is a huge fan of the Beatles collecting every thing she can on them so when Dave was kind enough to show us around the church hall it was the most wonderful day of her life. I have heard Dave is not very well hope he gets better soon will be thinking of him and his great kindness to us .Happy New Year to all and to Dave and family 2 January 2010 - lichfield england our comments   Happy New Year Emily from all at St Peter's.

My hubby and I are coming down to Liverpool from Scotland on Saturday (5th August) for yet another visit to the place "where it all began" - so far we haven't made it to your church but this time it is DEFINITELY on the agenda - we'll probably visit on the Sunday (6th August) before we head home again - is the church open for visitors or just when there are services on?

Just wanted to echo the words of Jolanda, re Dave Peters. I've just returned from Liverpool, which I was visiting as a Beatles fan on a 'pilgramage' with my wife and son. We found St Peters church hall and were happy enough just seeing the building and the plaque on the wall but as we were about to leave Dave arrived and offered to give us a tour inside. It absolutely made my day. Totally magical. I can't thank him enough. With kindest regards. 1 August 2009 - Great Barr, Birmingham

It is lovely to have the most memorable site for every Beatle-fan, especially for me who is from Indonesia, in the other part of the globe. Last year we were the one of participants to the International Beatleweek Festival in Liverpool, but we didn’t get much of a chance to go to this historical site. The Magical Mystery Bus just stopped for only a couple of minutes, obviously because it wasn’t be able to find a proper spot to park. Yet we saw from inside the bus how the park was. Next year we plan to participate in such event again, and this time we would like to get better view and have a picnic or some sort on the park. I saw in your website that’s possible. Is there any information or, are there any dos and don’ts regarding this matter? Thank you very much Kind regards 9 June 2009 our comments   Thank you for your comments. I am sorry that you were not able to visit the church and hall on your last visit to Liverpool. If you visit again please get in touch beforehand and we will try and show your around the premises and you can even have your picnic in the church hall if it is free. However St Peter's is a working church so there may be times when it is not possible to show you around. I look forward to meeting with you in coming months. From Graham (Administrator)
