Beatles fans are thrilled to see Sir Paul McCartney as their bus pulls up next to him in Liverpool.

A tour guide who takes Beatles fans around Liverpool told how fans were stunned to see Sir Paul McCartney while waiting at traffic lights. 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. "It was surreal," said Neil Morton, who has driven the Magical Mystery Tour bus around various Beatles sights in Liverpool for the last two years. "I had pulled up at the traffic lights on Hope Street when who should I see - Sir Paul with Ringo on Facetime", he said. George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney found fame in their home city before becoming global superstars 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. Sir Paul, who famously first found fame in his home city with The Beatles before they became global superstars, was in the city to present actor Stephen Graham with an award in a ceremony at his performing arts school. Graham, who grew up in the Merseyside town of Kirkby, will be presented with a companionship of the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) by the former Beatle and co-founder of the school.
