HE took one of the first pictures of John and Yoko together and once borrowed the Beatles' psychedelic Rolls Royce for a photo shoot.
Now veteran photographer Bill Zygmant is bringing his candid snaps of the Fab Four to Liverpool for the Mathew Street festival.
An exhibition of Zygmant's work is going on show at the Iconography gallery in Mathew Street.
Visitors will have a chance to buy copies of the pictures and on Saturday have them signed by the photographer himself.

During the 1960s, London-born Zygmant snapped some of the top stars, including the Stones, The Who and Hendrix.
He said: "Hendrix was a bit of a character. I don't think he really liked having his picture done."
His first photo shoot with The Beatles came shortly after they released their first record.
He said: "I took them to Austin Reed's in Regent Street - they were in bowler hats, with walking sticks, as city gents really."
