A collection of unseen photos of The Beatles just before they rose to fame is to go on display.
The 37 shots of the Fab Four on a tour with Helen Shapiro in 1963 were unearthed after languishing in an attic for almost 50 years. Photographer/journalist Paul Berriff discovered the pics at his home in north England.
"I started to root around in my attic and I found this box of about 800 negs (negatives), and in it were shots of these old pop groups in '63. I was absolutely knocked out when I saw the quality and realised I should do something with them," the Daily Express quoted Berriff as saying.
Berriff took the pics after the boy band gave him unlimited access on tour when he was a teenage snapper - just months before Beatlemania gripped the world.
The photographer had stored the negatives at his home, along with hundreds of other images of musicians in the 1960s.
