"A teenage portfolio of more than 350 previously unseen photos of The Beatles’ early invasion of America has fetched £253,200 at auction on Merseyside.

The photographer Mike Mitchell’s images show the band arriving in 1964 for their first concerts in the States at Washington DC and Baltimore. Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, who was knighted this week, are also shown at pre-show press conferences and on stage.

A total lot of 413 negatives were sold with copyright for £253,200 by Omega Auctions and only 46 of these pictures had been seen before, at auction in 2011.

Mitchell, who was 18 at the time, had wanted to photograph the Fab Four after watching their famous television performance on the Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964. He said: “I was very motivated to come up with stuff that was as unique as could possibly be.”

He took shots of the band as they arrived for their first US concert at the Washington Coliseum two days later, using natural light because he could not afford a flash. He was there again when they played the Baltimore Civic Center on 13 September, even getting on to the stage to secure a better view."

"One
of my best friends was killed in gun violence”

Paul McCartney attended the anti-gun ‘March For Our Lives’ in remembrance of his former Beatles bandmate, John Lennon.

The march today (March 24) will bring together hundreds of thousands of people across the US and internationally to protest the lack of stricter gun control laws following the proliferation  of mass shooting across the US and notably the Parkland school shooting where 17 people were killed, making it one of the deadliest school shootings in history."

Citando:
"Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has been knighted for his services to music.

The Duke of Cambridge bestowed the honour on the Liverpool-born star at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

"It means a lot actually," the musician told the BBC. "It means recognition for the things we've done. I was really pleased to accept this."

The honour comes 53 years after the Beatles were all awarded the MBE - and Starr said he had missed his bandmates' companionship this time round.

"I was a bit shaky today on my own," he said."

"This picture gallery of famous stars and their grandchildren shows that genes may in fact skip a generation 

It shows stars like Paul McCartney, Kirk Douglas and Grace Kelly and compares them to their grandchildren

They have a lot of shared features with their descendants, from the same eyes, to hair and the same smiles

The idea that genes skip a generation is a popular one and these revealing photos may finally be the evidence that's needed to prove the theory.

The images show famous stars and compare their likeness to their grandchildren - with stunning and surprising results.

The younger generation seem to be the spitting image of their illustrious, famous grandparents and they look almost indistinguishable in some cases. 

One set of photos show a young Paul McCartney pictured in his Beatles days in 1963 and compare him with his grandson Arthur, 18, who looks to have inherited his good looks."

2018-03-14: Paul McCartney em segunda classe?

Parece que sim!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5509913/Sir-Paul-McCartney-stuns-commuters-choosing-SECOND-CLASS-train.html

Citando:
"Sir Paul McCartney may have an estimated fortune of £780 million but the Beatles legend is not averse to saving the odd penny here and there.

The 75-year-old was spotted rushing onto a train yesterday just before it pulled out of Charing Cross railway station.

Rather than opting for first class, down-to-earth Sir Paul settled down in second class, sitting alongside ordinary commuters and their bicycles. 

Dressed smartly in a suit and crisp white shirt, Britain's most famous singer songwriter kept a low profile as he sat quietly on his own in the carriage. "

Citando:
"The widow of ‘fifth Beatle’ Sir George Martin locked herself in the bathroom in terror as masked burglars forced their way into her home.

Judy Martin, 89, dialled 999 after discovering two intruders at her house in an Oxfordshire village. Uniformed officers arrived with sirens blaring within minutes, forcing the pair to flee empty-handed.

Despite support from a police helicopter with a thermal imaging camera, the suspects escaped and remain on the run. 

One line of inquiry is that the intruders thought priceless Beatles memorabilia was in the house."
