I was 14 it was 1962 Billy Fury and Mike Sarne inter alia were appearing on the Liverpool Empire Theatre. me mate and me went down on the sunday afternoon to hang around the stage door in Lord Nelson Street just in case we could see anyone arriving for the evening show. There were us 2 and about half a dozen other girls turned up over the next hour. The coppers came and told us to move away from the door each time somebody came and we would be shoved over to the other side of the road -miserable gets- but we'd get a smile and a wave as they entered the building. it went quiet for a while but the coppers wouldn't let us go back to the door. all of a sudden me mate says 'there's John Lennon and Paul McCartney as these 2 figures walked up Lord Nelson Street on the other side past the stage door. me and her broke away from the group and ran after them as they turned into Pudsey Street.we saw you on Granada last week you were great, she said give us your autograph. Suddenly some of the other girls appeared 'who is it?' I don't know, but get his autograph anyway. Paul said to a non participating Lennon, sign John, sign 'they don't even know who we are, says Lennon, ok girls, says a happy Macca, calm down, calm down you'll all get our autographs and to John as an aside ' better get used to this John you're gonna see a lot more in the future, sign ! so john did most got both autographs but then the 2 coppers cam e to see what the fuss was about they just HAD to spoil our fun...... hey said the sergeant what's going on , who are you? the other copper shooed us girls back down the road towards the stage door, the sergeant collared both macca and lennon at the back of their necks and shoved them brutally with a 'clear off now or you'll be booked' ok ok said macca smiling worriedly and john looking terrified saying nothing. We were no longer interested in the stars still to arrive so me and me mate went off in the direction of the 2 'criminals' macca had disappeared but John stood in the foyer of the Empire he shooed us away when we called out to him 'stay away, the copper 'll get me -go away! undaunted we hung on a bit longer who you waiting for? we asked -then the copper appeared so we scooted away into London Road, we sneaked back later to witness Cynthia coming across the road and john coming out to meet her and they both sauntered off without a backward glance. that was the only time in all my life that I was ever in such close physical proximity to John Lennon or Paul McCartney that I could touch them and now beloved John will never be there to be touched physically, and I doubt it will ever happen for me in the case of Paul either.
I think what I was trying to say was 'memories are priceless'
Great story! Thank you for sharing it with us :-)
