Paul McCartney was spotted in various Liverpool locations over the weekend, and performed a surprise live show at the city’s Philharmonic pub.
The former Beatle was accompanied by James Corden, fuelling speculation – later confirmed – that they were in Liverpool to film an appearance on Corden’s US television programme the Late Late Show.

Visitors to the Pier Head this lunchtime were in shock as Sir Paul McCartney emerged from a car and walked over to the statues of the four Beatles. Local Beatles Guide, @jacarandajac, who took this photograph, said she was “shaking”. @cavernliverpool donated the statues in 2015 pic.twitter.com/X58x0s7C6s
