Last week, following my beloved Liverpool FC becoming champions of England after 30 years and with a €25 Golden Discs voucher as the goal, I asked you for your favourite song by a band or singer from Liverpool.
You answered in your tens.
But there could be only one winner.
Third Place:
Heart As Big As Liverpool by The Mighty Wah
Catherine Vaughan writes:
One of my favourite Liverpudlians (Pete Wylie). I might normally go for Story Of The Blues, but today, it can only be this…
Runner up:
A Day In The Life by The Beatles
YupYup writes:
THE greatest masterpiece has to be the best of Liverpool surely? The epic nature, the switches and ups and downs which lead to the final crescendo and the famous final chords are rather appropriate for all the Liverpool fans breathing one massive 30 year sigh of relief.
Winner:
There She Goes by The La’s
Bertie Blenkinsop writes:
I loved this song since before Liverpool won the League last time and I still love every single note of it, a lost genius Lee Mavers
Thanks all.

Following @sandralaville‘s shocking revelations in the @guardian yesterday here are some pictures of the River Colne that were taken on Monday.
The River Colne is a chalk stream, one of only 225 in the entire world pumped to extinction.
