In a heartfelt gesture that moved fans across the world, Ringo Starr recently announced a large donation to a children’s hospital in London—made in memory of his late bandmate and dear friend, George Harrison.
During a quiet ceremony at the hospital, Ringo spoke with visible emotion:
“George was always about giving, always about love and compassion. He had such a soft spot for kids and healing. So this one’s for George.”
The donation will help fund new pediatric care units, music therapy rooms, and gardens for young patients and their families. The hospital revealed that the new wing will feature a peaceful garden inspired by George’s love for nature and spirituality, allowing children to find calm and joy even during difficult treatments.
Ringo also met with several young patients, handing out toy drumsticks and signing autographs. Witnesses say he often repeated George’s signature phrase, “All things must pass,” reminding families to hold onto hope.
For Beatles fans, the gesture beautifully reflects the lifelong bond between Ringo and George—a friendship full of laughter, music, and love that continues to inspire even after George’s passing.
