![]() The Beatles were rushed into the office of the Lord Mayor, a small mustached man named Louis Caplan. They were back in Liverpool for the opening of their first movie, A Hard Day’s Night.Īt the Liverpool town hall the first of the 400 persons hurt that day were being carried on stretchers from the crowds surging and screaming behind the barricades. Along the way the motorcycle police heard radio reports that there was rioting at town hall. The mobs kept breaking through the police lines to claw at their car, while the police motorcycles raced down both gutters, making spectators jump hot-footedly back onto the curbs. On the drive to the city, the Beatles had an eight-motorcycle escort. This was only the vanguard of the 150,000 who lined the 10-mile route to the town hall. When the Beatles stepped from the plane, 1,500 people shrieked a welcome from the roof of Liverpool Airport. ![]()
