With two other plain clothed officers I met The Beatles and ushered them through the quiet rear doors of the City Hall. I sat with them back-stage as they ate a cold chicken meal before their concert and John Lennon and Ringo Starr kindly signed the poetry book". The Beatles performed in concert at the City Hall, Sheffield, on 9th November 1964 as part of their Autumn UK Tour.
