• 100 BEATLE MOMENTS • 1. George is born... Happy birthday George! George was born on the 25th February 1943... or was he? George, being a creature of duality throughout his life, just had to have two birthdays! George’s birth was registered on the 26th February 1943 by his father, Harold Hargreaves Harrison, who said he picked George’s name on his way to the register office, because, “if it was good enough for the king, it was good enough for him”! As you can see on his birth certificate (above) it gives George’s birth date as the 25th February. However, sometime in his forties, in the 1980s, George discovered he’d actually been born on the 24th of February at 11.42pm. So George ended up with 2 birthdays, because he’s just that special. There’s a cute story from Olivia where she says if you said happy birthday to George on the 24th, he would say, “oh, my birthday isn’t until tomorrow’, so when you said happy birthday to him on the 25th, he’d reply, ‘oh, sorry, you missed it - my birthday was yesterday!” However, George’s sister, Louise refutes this story. She was present at George’s birth (albeit she was only 12) and she said he was born after midnight on the 25th, and that someone had convinced him otherwise. Whichever day he was born on, Happy Birthday George! We love you! Slides show: 1. George Harrison as a chubby baby with text: Happy Birthday George 2. Quote from George about his birth.
