Beatles fans taking a tour around Liverpool were left speechless when singer Sir Paul McCartney said ‘hello’ to them as he drove past.
And in a bizarre twist, Sir Paul was actually on the phone to fellow Beatle, drummer Ringo Starr, at the time.
The lead singer showed the stunned fans his phone, which showed he was on a call with a bemused sunglass-wearing Ringo.
Magical Mystery Tour bus guide Tony Curley, 71, said seeing Sir Paul on Monday was ‘surreal’.
Sir Paul was being chauffeur-driven down Hope Street towards the city’s famous Cathedral at the same time the bus tour was happening.
‘We pulled up at the red lights, and there he was waving whilst sat in the back of a car,’ Tony said.
‘We pulled our window down and, like a proper Scouser, he said to us, “You alright, lads?”
‘Of course we were – as a Beatles fan seeing Paul for the first time was amazing.’
Tony immediately used the tour microphone to tell the Beatles fans to get their phones out.
‘He then waved at everyone on the bus and pulled out Ringo on his phone,’ Tony added.
‘It probably only lasted a minute but was a magical coincidence.’
Breno Augusto, a Portuguese Beatles superfan and blogger, couldn’t believe it either.
‘Imagine exploring Liverpool aboard the Magical Mystery Tour bus -[on Monday] – when, just when you least expect it, you glance at a car and see Paul McCartney inside, chatting with Ringo Starr!!!!’ he posted on X.
The Magical Mystery Tour takes fans of the Beatles around Liverpool, showing where the band grew up and kick-started their career.
The two-hour ride ends at the Cavern Club, a converted underground vegetable warehouse where the Beatles performed in the early 1960s before they became famous.
