Gerry Marsden to be honoured by re-naming Pier Head ferry terminal
The Mersey Ferry terminal at Liverpool's Pier Head is to be re-named after Merseybeat legend Gerry Marsden.

The new name - the Liverpool Gerry Marsden Ferry Terminal – would commemorate the historic link between the music icon and the Mersey Ferries, and has been developed in discussion with Gerry's family.
