The right to be buried on top of Eleanor Rigby in a Liverpool graveyard, perhaps. Deeds for the grave of the woman who may have been the inspiration for the Beatles song go on sale at an auction next month. Eleanor Rigby was buried in St Peter’s churchyard in Woolton, Liverpool, where Paul McCartney first met John Lennon at a church fete. When someone buys a grave space they are usually granted an “exclusive right of burial” for 99 years. The last person to be buried in Eleanor Rigby’s family grave was laid to rest in 1949, 68 years ago.
