Photos from the book Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Beatles & Bournemouth went on show at Lighthouse, Poole's centre for the arts last night.
The exhibition, expanded from the recent show at Bournemouth's Central Library, features many of the photographs from the book and several that could not be included, as well as a range of memorabilia related to The Beatles and the impact they made on Bournemouth and Poole.
Skilfully curated by the venue's deputy CEO Sara St George and artist-in-residence Hazel Evans, the exhibition provided the ideal opportunity for those with stories to tell to meet and swap tales with author Nick Churchill, pictured above.
Among the many messages of support received before the opening was one from former Beatles press officer Tony Bramwell.
Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Beatles and Bournemouth is available from www.beatlesandbournemouth.com

- The photos are on show again this summer, from 9 July until 5 September in the Bourne Lounge at Bournemouth International Centre.
