An exhibition marking 60 years since the Beatles' ground-breaking film A Hard Day's Night has launched in Liverpool.
The exhibition is at the Beatles Story Museum at the Albert Dock with memorabilia from the 1964 film, including recreations of the iconic suits the Fab Four wore in the black and white movie.
The suits have been remade by Gordon Millings, the son of the original designer Dougie Millings.
Gordon Millings, whose father was nicknamed The Beatles' Tailor, said: "Reviving the silver-grey suits from A Hard Day’s Night has allowed me to honour my father’s legacy and the lasting influence of The Beatles.
"By using my father’s original patterns and fabric from the same Savile Row supplier, as well as the original techniques used by my father and I in 1964, we’ve recreated the suits with great attention to detail.
"This collection of suits is a bridge between past and present, and I cannot wait for fans to see them."
Mary Chadwick, General Manager of The Beatles Story, added: "Sixty years on, A Hard Day’s Night still captures that special Beatles magic and the wild excitement of the Beatlemania era.We’re really excited to unveil this special exhibition, where fans can relive the film’s essence and see original memorabilia and meticulously recreated costumes first-hand."
A charity showing of the film will raise funds for Strawberry Fields, the charity for young people with learning disabilities that is based in the former children's home immortalised by John Lennon in his song Strawberry Fields Forever.
