I was at my parents house on New Years’ day and we dug out the old family photo albums, as you do, and came across these snaps of some lads my aunt met on holiday in Newquay, Cornwall in 1967…
It’s become folklore in our family that my aunt Frances, on Paul’s left arm, and the original Beatle fan in the clan – had her shot to chat with John who was sitting by the Bus in the field as they filmed the tent scene. To mark this once in a lifetime occasion, she asked him what he’d had for breakfast! “Erm, eggs I think” came the bemused response.
With hindsight, and less nerves, she might have thought of something more profound, however being a working class girl from Glasgow, she was genuinely interested in what you got to eat in nice hotels for your breakfast! Anyway, she at least was able to confirm that John was indeed the Eggman.
