| | Blog of Death: Lucy Richardson |
 | | Lucy Richardson, the woman John Lennon immortalized in The Beatles' hit "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," died on June 1 of cancer. |
 | | Lucy Richardson wasn't a classmate of Julian's at all - she was a good five years older than him, whereas Lucy O'Donnell is exactly the same age and was in the same class. |
 | | Lucy was my contemporary, and therefore not in Julian's age year, or near it, and while I am sorry to hear she is dead, I do not think the song can have been inspired by her, but rather by Lucy O'Donnell who was his age and also frequented the school. |
