Hair-raising: The Duchess of Cornwall lets loose at the Beatles Story attraction in Liverpool

Camilla reminisced about the 'screaming fans' as she watched a short performance by a Beatles tribute band during a trip down memory lane in Liverpool.

The Duchess was greeted at the attraction by a crowd waving Union Jack flags and by a member of staff dressed in a Sgt Pepper costume.

In the Cavern area of the attraction the Duchess watched a short performance by tribute band The Mersey Beatles before moving on to the discovery zone, where she met pupils from Liverpool's St Vincent De Paul primary school.
