Beatles legends, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr surprised a group of fans of the Fab Four during a sightseeing tour in Liverpool.

At the time, the fans were enjoying all the delights of The Magical Mystery Tour, which takes fans of the band around the city to see the childhood homes of The Beatles, among other locations which played a key role in their early years.

On a recent tour, the group were suddenly stopped at traffic lights along Hope Street, when a car pulled up beside their bus. To the fans' shock, Paul McCartney leaned out the window to wave at them.


If that was not enough, they were soon joined by fellow Beatle, Ringo Starr, who appeared on a FaceTime call with McCartney at the time.

Speaking to the BBC, tour guide, Neil Morton reflected on this amazing moment.

"It was surreal. I had pulled up at the traffic lights on Hope Street when who should I see – Sir Paul with Ringo on FaceTime!", he said. "He waved to us and everybody took photos. The passengers could not believe it". 

While revealing that McCartney did make time to meet the group, he added that "nobody really got a chance to speak with him."

News of this comes months after McCartney and Starr had also reunited to work on a 3D animated film based on a children's book, High in the Clouds, which saw Starr lend his voice to a character. The book itself was originally written by McCartney, alongside Geoff Dunbar and Philip Ardagh. More on this story here.

Back in March, Paul McCartney was also temporarily banned from Reddit for sharing photos of his own show to fans. The shows in question saw McCartney play live at the Fonda Theatre, and he had told his Reddit followers that he wanted to share something from the show as it was a phone free event.
