A life-long Beatles fan was chosen to design a unique installation for the new Royal Liverpool Hospital.
Award-winning glass artist Alexander Beleschenko took inspiration from the years he spent listening to his favourite Liverpool band to design the stunning artwork, saying the light reflections mimic the intonations of music.
The internationally acclaimed artist is gracing Liverpool for the first time with his stain glass window-style decorations, which will adorn the new hospitals West Derby Street and Prescot Street entrances.
The 329m facility is currently under construction and due to take over from the current hospital in 2017.
Mr Beleschenkos artwork, which was unveiled to the public for the first time yesterday, will be made up of 50 glass panes and span 217sq m.
And although the Northamptonshire-born artist said his work is strictly abstract, he hopes his Liverpudlian inspirations will shine through.
He said: I was 13 when The Beatles first exploded onto the scene.
Award-winning glass artist Alexander Beleschenko
It was amazing. The work is about celebrating Liverpool and re-working the tradition of stain glass in a contemporary way. This is my first project in Liverpool and I am very chuffed and honoured to be here.
Mr Beleschenko also laughed that the orange panes in the bottom left-hand corner of the installation was a nod to Cilla Blacks ginger hair.

Construction of a built-in pool in a charming section of Riverton came to a "screaming" stop when a worker discovered a human skull Monday afternoon.
Tuesday, the normally quiet riverfront neighborhood with turn-of-the century mansions was transformed into a crime scene with police, detectives, and an anthropologist studying what appeared to be particularly old remains.
How old? Joel Bewley, spokesman for the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, could only say "very" old until experts do a thorough analysis to determine the age, gender, identity, and cause of death, and how the skeletal remains got to the spot about six feet deep in the 600 block of Bank Avenue. No coffin or clothing were found.
Although crime scene tape hung from the towering trees that shade a mix of newer and older homes, and a crime scene truck stood by, this might not be a crime scene at all, authorities agreed.
In the early 1800s, the land was being farmed, houses were few, and servants and fishermen were part of the landscape. Monday's discovery, close to Halloween, added to the area's folklore, as conflicting stories were repeated down the grassy lane less than 24 hours after the find.
A pool digger was hacking at the perimeter of the already excavated 20- by 40-foot pool when his shovel met resistance, said David Curzie, an interior painter and a friend of the Zimmermanns, who said he was working when the skull emerged.
"He hit what he thought was a rock and out comes the head," Curzie said. "Then he went screaming out of the hole."
Randy Budd, owner of Budd Pools in Deptford, was not there, but had a different version of events. Workers had finished working on the deep end of the pool and were preparing to install steel supports before concrete could be poured, he said.

ILLINOIS (KFVS) -
Architects in Marion, Illinois announced their top 10 haunted buildings for 2014 just in time for Halloween.
The list covers most of southern Illinois, with some locations dating back to the early 1800s.
Most of the buildings are public landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places, and others are currently private residences with a deep local history.
The list is not ordered to reflect the degree of paranormal activity, but rather a collection of historic buildings that have a spooky story to tell.
Choate Mental Health Center - Anna, Ill.
The Choate Mental Health Center, formerly Anna State Hospital, was built in 1869 and opened in 1875.
This Victorian-era structure was built after the Kirkbridge plan of design. Kirkbridge buildings typically have long, staggered wings to allow for sunlight and fresh air to enter, with large grounds surrounding the structure.
There have been numerous cases of people claiming they've seen faces in the windows, or heard sounds of footsteps or voices. There has been one case of a "devil dog" that attacked a patient.
Orderlies heard sounds of commotion from the room, entered the room, and the victim had unexplainable scratches all over his body.

CHARLES CITY | Architects presented a schematic design for a new Charles City Middle School that includes learning spaces of various sizes, an outdoor classroom and an amphitheater to the school board on Monday evening.
The design for the $17.6 million building to be constructed at the current high school campus also includes a competition gym with seating for 1,800 people that could be used for high school athletics and a commons area with a "treehouse" -- a series of glass-enclosed areas on either side of the staircase between the first and second floors.
Sam Johnson from BLDD Architects cautioned the board the schematic design phase "is the honeymoon phase" and some hard choices will need to be made before bids are taken.
The building design includes a lot of glass to let in natural daylight, even in the gym.
The learning spaces range from 150 square feet for a semi-enclosed "cave," where up to three students can work together, to 2,800 square feet for the collaborative commons area. There also are 1,200-square-foot exploratory and design labs and smaller lecture spaces and labs, including a media lab.
Jeff Johnson of BLDD said the treehouse could be a "hangout spot" for students but it also could be another learning space.
He said teachers have been involved in the design from the beginning.
Jean Underwood of BLDD noted students also gave the firm their ideas in May.
Jeff Johnson said the design lends itself to exciting learning projects, such as having students do their own talk show in which they would be producers, presenters, stage designers and technicians.
He said the overall design concept for the new school "reinvents education as you know it."

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. After nearly a year of construction, a new $10 million development is near completion at the corner Hall and Madison.
Southtown Square consists of two dozen apartments and 6,000 square feet of retail space.
Linc Community Revitalization, a local non-profit is spearheading the project.
Future tenants are excited, but so are other businesses in the Madison Square neighborhood on Grand Rapids southeast side.
The future housing tenants are moving in on Friday, but the retail space wont be completed for at least a month.
We know that children that have healthier homes and more stable housing do better in school. Theyre parents are more likely to stay at their jobs and just makes family life so much better when you have your housing needs met, said Jeremy Deroo with LINC.
Deroo said that the new development is just the latest investment in the Madison Square neighborhood.
This is a great addition to a neighborhood thats really been in a point of transition for years. The neighborhood has had over $30 million invested in the last four years or so, said Deroo.
Jung Park has owned OJs Enterprises across the street for more than 25 years. Park said that its a neighborhood that is riddled with crime.
Once in a while we hear these gun shots, shootings, things like that. A couple months ago we heard the gun shot outside in the parking lot and police came all over the place, said Park.
