Tour guide Neil Morton described the disbelief among passengers as they scrambled to capture the historic moment.
The sighting adds to an exciting period for Beatles enthusiasts, following the inaugural Official Global Beatles Day and anticipation of Sam Mendes’ four-film series arriving in 2028.
McCartney recently released The Boys of Dungeon Lane, featuring his first duet with Starr on ‘Home To Us’, while London’s iconic 3 Savile Row prepares to open as a fan experience next year.
