Final concert for longest serving group in British pop history
They are the longest serving group in British pop history and are rounding off their farewell tour in Eastleigh before a Glastonbury swansong.
Up to now retirement has never been in The Searchers' vocabulary, but they have decided that after three final tours it really is time to hang up the plectrums and drum sticks.
The Liverpool legends, who in the golden pop era of the 60s were second only to the The Beatles, return to The Concorde Club on Thursday June 26 for the final gig on their Thank You tour.

The following day The Searchers step on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival to write the final chapter of a pop story which began nearly 70 years ago.
The Concorde has always been a favourite venue for The Searchers, who have toured continually for more than 67 years.
Their most famous single remains their 1963 debut Sweets For My Sweet.

Vegetable sculpture contest features a squash Donald Trump and a papal 'cornclave'
LONDON -- Vegetable likenesses of Donald Trump and Dolly Parton and a papal 'cornclave' went on display Saturday at the Lambeth Country Show, an urban take on a country fair held annually in London's Brockwell Park. The two-day show features sheep-shearing, livestock competitions, food, music and a vegetable sculpture contest that has attracted national renown for its quirky creativity. This year, several sculptures recreated the recent papal election, including one featuring cardinals made of maize, titled 'Cornclave.' Other entries included Irish rap trio Kneecap in potato form, 'Cauli Parton' in a movie-inspired tableau titled '9 to Chive,' a vegetable 'Mo Salad' likeness of Liverpool soccer star Mo Salah and animated icons Wallace and Gromit made from butternut squash. Trump also got the butternut squash treatment, while some entries referred to local politics. In Lambeth, as in other parts of London, local authorities have turned to holding large concerts and festivals in parks as a way to raise money, to the chagrin of some neighbors. 'Wolf Hall' actor Mark Rylance, one of a group of local residents opposed to big events in Brockwell Park, is represented as 'Mark Rylunch,' with an apple-carved head and satirical signs branding him a NIMBY (not in my backyard) campaigner. 'Every year, this is what we get so excited about, is the vegetable sculptures,' said Country Fair regular Maddy Luxon. 'It's just so unique and just so witty and we love the political ones.' 'And the puns,' said Marek Szandrowski, who was with her. 'The vegetable puns, definitely.'
