John has been a fan of the Fab Four since he was a teenager and was visiting the attraction for the second time with wife Linda and special guests, following a visit with his daughter back in 2015.

He admitted that John Lennon was his favourite Beatle, whereas Linda prefers Paul.

Walking around the world-famous attraction, John said "I was 14 when they hit America and I’ve always been a huge fan. This place is amazing, it’s great to be back."

Their visit took place only a few hours before Liverpool’s Premier League clash against Huddersfield Town was scheduled to kick off. Having just flown in from London for the match, they were keen to take in a whistle-stop tour beforehand.

 

The Reds, who are currently sitting in second place in the Premier League table and have a semi-final against Barcelona coming up still have it all to play for.

After a quick tour of the award-winning exhibition John, Linda and their guests left to travel to Anfield for the game.
