I was almost 14 years' old when I saw The Beatles at The Princess Theatre in Torquay, Devon. My dear grandparents lived just down the road, on The Strand. The Beatles sang their new release, "She Loves You". It was great! I hope Sir Paul has a long and happy marriage. So sad that dear John passed away so tragically, and dear George too.
