A notebook containing Sir Paul McCartney’s handwritten lyrics for ‘Hey Jude’ has been donated to a museum by Davinia Taylor.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star was given the special pad – which belonged to The Beatles’ former bodyguard Mal Evans – for her 21st birthday by her dad Alan Murphy.
She explained: “Sotheby’s had an auction, dad was at home, a few bottles of wine in and started bidding against an American.
“He won. He said, ‘It’s not going to America, it’s staying in Liverpool.”
She revealed her millionaire father paid “something crazy like £100,000” for the notebook, which also contains doodles and poetry by all four band memebrs, including John Lennon, George Harrison and Sir Ringo Starr.
It also contains snippets of lyrics from ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ and other tracks.
Now, the pad – which was compiled from 1967 to 1968 – is on display at The Beatles Story museum in Liverpool.
