Alfred Lennon, (also knowns as Freddie Lennon), is the father of Beatle John Lennon.
Alfred (aged 55) is pictured here with 19 year old Pauline Cole, a former student of Exeter University, who he plans to marry.
Full interview with Alfred Lennon is in The Daily Mirror 6th January 1968, page 1 and back page 28, that says the following....
John Lennon has ended his feud with his father, who left the family home when John was only 4 years old. Alfred went to sea as a ships steward and later learned that his wife, Julia, had been killed in a road accident in 1958. In 1964, Alfred suddenly turned up and met John, who was now a famous Beatle.
Now in 1968, John has said on their silence and time apart, " we were both partially to blame. Thats why its taken all this time. We re getting to know each other. Through friends and relatives we got in touch. From now on I hope we ll be in closer contact all the time".
Alfred was living in a 10 pounds per week apartment in Richmond, South West London, and working as a **barman** (note to editor to check this fact) for 8 pounds per week in nearby Hampton Court. Just before Christmas, Alfred had been lying sick in bed, when a letter arrived from John Lennon with a wad of money notes inside. A few days later a chauffer-driven Rolls Royce arrived and took Alfred to Weybridge to see John and his family. Later he took Pauline to see John.
" He (John) thought she was great" said Alfred.
Pauline added " I ve met John several times now and he is very sympathetic" John told his father to rent a 14 pounds per week flat in Richmond and gave him weekly money to tied him over.
