Ringo Starr & Barbara Bach | Wedding Interview & BBC Coverage (1981)

On 27 April 1981, Ringo Starr married actress Barbara Bach in a civil ceremony at London’s Marylebone Register Office — the same venue where Paul McCartney had wed Linda Eastman in 1969. The two had met the previous year on the set of the film Caveman, becoming close friends before their relationship turned romantic.

This video combines a light-hearted pre-wedding interview — filled with playful back-and-forth about how they first connected — with rare BBC news footage of the wedding day. Outside the register office, over 30 police officers managed the crowd, mindful of heightened security concerns in the wake of John Lennon’s death. Paul McCartney and George Harrison attended quietly, slipping past photographers, while the newlyweds departed for a small reception at a Mayfair nightclub.

A rare glimpse into one of the most private yet star-studded moments in Ringo’s life, blending warmth, humour, and history.
