| The Beatles meeting fans at Sheffield City Hall in November 1963 |
One fan has recalled the lucky day she got the autographs of The Beatles – and the even luckier one years later when she met Paul McCartney and told him about it!
Fiona McCormick, who is from Sheffield but now lives in Hampshire and works in London, recalled going to see the Fab Four at Sheffield City Hall at her very first concert.
She said: “On this day I was being looked after by a babysitter. I would have been around 11 and I had gone with her to the City Hall where she knew someone who worked there.
“As they were stood chatting by the door, some young guys pushed past us and one of them handed me some black and white pictures which were all signed by The Beatles.

“I now work in a VIP building and last Christmas Paul McCartney held a private party where I work. I did get to speak to him and I was telling him this story and how I remembered the concert being loud and exciting and my very first one. He laughed and said one day I would be richer than him. I was surprised how grounded he was.”
She added: “I was Beatle-mad back then. I had the wig and collected bubble gum cards. The fact it was my very first concert, I do not remember it as I did other concerts as I got older.
“I remember there being a lot of excitement and being very noisy. People were screaming and shouting but I was I think around 11 and the fact I had a babysitter seems pretty ridiculous today but she took me along.

“I did not really notice they were signed until someone told me.” Fiona said she thought the pictures were in storage.
“I have been lucky enough to meet a few famous people in my time as I have always loved music,” said Fiona.
