Taylor and McCartney

 

Yes, Paul plays a little guitar

 

Relaxed Richy

 

Ringo looks so good here -- tan and healthy.   Obviously though this is not a currently photograph because Ringo's hair is currently much longer.  

Time to relax!

 

Ringo's shirt made me laugh!

This story and photo has been making the rounds lately.   The Liverpool Echo posted the story posted below with the photos.   This site seems like the right place for this story to live, so I am posting it here.  I have seen a lot of comments about Paul not wearing a mask in the photo.  I do not think this is a recent photograph.   There hasn't been a Beatle exhibit in NYC in quite a while and Paul hasn't been seen without a mask since the pandemic began.  

Teenager 'starstruck' after Paul McCartney photobombs her holiday snap

Written by Charlotte Hadfield

A woman was left "starstruck" after spotting Sir Paul McCartney in the background of one of her holiday photos.

Mae Archie from Connecticut, USA was on holiday in New York City when, after coincidentally visiting an exhibition about The Beatles, she posed for a photo in the street.

But it wasn't until she returned home from the holiday that the 17-year-old realised she'd missed an important detail in the picture.

It was only the legend Sir Paul McCartney himself, strolling past her on a zebra crossing.

Mae, who is a big fan of the Fab Four, said she was "starstruck and beyond excited" and has since had the photo framed.

She shared a video on TikTok explaining what happened which has since gone viral, racking up over 12,000 likes.

Mae told the ECHO: "I realised when I got home and was sitting in my bedroom.

"I kept looking back at the picture on the ride home but I couldn’t seem to put a name to his face, which is wild because I’m such a fan and was just at an exhibit he was featured in.

"I ran downstairs freaking out. I was starstruck and beyond excited. I have the picture framed.

"It has become a great talking point and one of my most cherished memories."

Mae said she was initially upset that she didn't realise it was Sir Paul because she would "love to have a conversation with the legend himself."

However, since then she has come to accept it and it has made a great story which she will always look back on.

Mae said: "I now laugh about it because it is so unreal.

"I woke up this morning to a ton of notifications. I was confused as to why out of nowhere I was getting so many followers.

"My friend, Nico, then sent me a screenshot off of Google and the entire front page was me. I was shocked."

After realising how far the news had spread Mae said she sent a message to her friends on their group chat and they all shared the "the moment of shock and excitement together."

She added: "I called my family as well and they all thought it was amazing, I am still buzzing with excitement. The response from the media and the viewers have been great. I’m so happy to share my story with everyone."

Sharing the video on TikTok Mae wrote: "Taking pictures in NYC and realising when I got home, THE Paul McCartney photobombed me."

Hundreds of viewers took to the comments to express their shock and excitement at the story.

One wrote: "Out of all the spots to photobomb just like the ABBEY ROAD COVER."

Another said: "How on earth did you not recognise him?! I'm super jealous!"

A third wrote: "Omg he's recreating Abbey Road."

While a fourth added: "I would literally lose my mind."

Beatles Kingdom

The Beatles Kingdom was an American Chartered Fan Club from 1969-1971 (then the name was changed to the Apple Kingdom).   I wonder if this is an old t-shirt that someone from the club sent to Paul back in 1969.   It does sort of look like the logo for the club...

Imagine peace

Happy to meet you Paul

Happy Easter Everyone!

The good old day of the limo watch

Is it just me, or does it feel like YEARS and YEARS since we'd been allowed to be large groups like this?   I am more than ready to get back to limo watches and Paul concerts.  How about you?

Another photo in the loo

Paul arrving in Japan

Japan seems to be the only place in the world where Paul travels and fans are allowed to greet him at the airport.   He will sign a few autographs and wave to everyone.  I guess this is because Japanese police are good a crowd control and Paul feel somewhat safer than he does in other countries? 

Ringo and his dentist

Nothing like getting your teeth cleaned and then posing with a photo with your dentist.   

Step-dad and step-son

Happy 28th birthday, Arlen!

He's got a ticket to ride (err..fly)

Signing for the masses

RIP The Ticket Queen

Yesterday, March 31 Shelley Lazar, who was known to many as "The Ticket Queen" passed away after a battle with cancer. 

Shelley was the founder of the modern-day VIP tickets for the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney (as well as many, many others).     She was the soundcheck person and was super kind to all of Paul's fans at the soundchecks.    At some small events, should personally find Paul's fans and get them moved closer to Paul because she thought the fans should be up front and not people that were there just because they had money.    

I am certain that I met Shelley during my soundcheck experience in Memphis in 2013.    Although I wouldn't have had any clue as to who she was.     I wish I did get to know her because in all of the photos I see with her and Paul fans, Shelley is happy and smiling.     Peace to her family and friends during this time.
