Notes: On 13 September 1965 Ringo Starr`s wife Maureen Starkey gave birth to their first son Zak.

Zak Starkey was born at Queen Charlotte`s Hospital, Hammersmith, London. Ringo chose Zak`s name because it was "a nice strong
name that can`t be shortened," explaining that it was a "mad cowboy name that had been spinning round my brain at the time."

"BBC News" were on hand to interview Ringo after he had visited Maureen following the birth.
