Fact #104442

Ian Wright (photographer) : They'd just finished A Hard Day's Night and they came on a steam train. When I got to the railway station, I wasn't a little kid anymore. I didn't have that exclusivity with them anymore. When I got there, I took a photograph of the photographers on the platform which we guesstimated that were 120 photographers, camera crews and radio people waiting for them to get off the train for this concert. Then they went into the theatre and John was wearing that green and yellow jacket on "the butcher" album. He bought it in Miami. They came out of this door at the theatre and he saw me there and he put his thumbs up. He pushed his thumbs right at me, thumbs up and said "You know Wrighty, you were right. Could you bloody believe all of this?" There must have been, out of the window on the sea front, it was in Scarborough which is a resort town in Yorkshire, police estimated there was between 35,000, 45,000 people on the High Street. And that's all John said to me. "You're absolutely right Wrighty. Have you seen anything like this?" That was the last time I saw them.
