Eleanor Rigby was released by The Beatles on August 5, 1966. McCartney in an interview said that he originally came up with the idea of Father McCartney but figured it was inappropriate to use his dads name, so looked in the phone book and found McKenzie. Ultimately, the name Father McKenzie was used in the songs lyrics. McCartney came up with the name Eleanor from actress Eleanor Bron and Rigby from a store in Bristol named Rigby Evens Ltd, Wine Spirit Shippers. In the 1980s, a grave was discovered in St. Peters Parish Church in Woolton, Liverpool, with the name Eleanor Rigby on it. A few yards from Eleanors grave is another tombstone with the last name McKenzie on it. The cemetery is located near the spot where Lennon and McCartney first met, and the two spent a lot of time in the cemetery sunbathing as teenagers.
