A tour guide who takes Beatles fans around Liverpool told how fans were stunned to see Sir Paul McCartney while waiting at traffic lights.<\/p>\n
The chance encounter got even more surreal, when the Fab Four fans realised Sir Paul was at that very moment talking to fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, on a video call.<\/p>\n
“It was surreal,” said Neil Morton, who has driven the Magical Mystery Tour bus around various Beatle sights in Liverpool for the last two years.<\/p>\n
“I had pulled up at the traffic lights on Hope Street when who should I see – Sir Paul with Ringo on Facetime”, he added.<\/p>\n
“He waved to us and everybody took photos,” Morton said.<\/p>\n
He added: “The passengers could not believe it.”<\/p>\n
Fans were able to see the pop legend while the traffic lights remained on red.<\/p>\n
“Nobody really got chance to speak with him,” said Morton.<\/p>\n
The tour guide revealed it was not his first encounter with the star, having come across him when he used to work at the Cavern Club.<\/p>\n
“We were told not to take photos but I managed to sneak one,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A tour guide who takes Beatles fans around Liverpool told how fans were stunned to see Sir Paul…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-535597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
