Can you tell me if any of the photographs taken of the fans in Middle Street are available? I know I was on the front page and would love to have a copy.

I was also a fan on the street outside the Hippodrome waiting for the Beatles show, along with several friends, Avril Darby, Alan Cooper, and many more. If there are photos available I would love to see them. I don't remember a girl jumping onto the stage, but we were all quite hysterical.

I had a ticket to see the Beatles here but would have been sitting next to a girl who, by then, was my ex-girlfriend (Carol Danks of Southwick). I had paid 7s 6d (37 1/2p) for the ticket and managed to sell it outside on the night for £1 12s 6d (£1.62 1/2p). I like to think that I've been a capitalist ever since! Thinking about it though, perhaps she didn't show up either.

The Rolling Stones appeared here in 1964 also.
