A Beatles superfan has spent years collecting more than 400 photographs of the Fab Four drinking cups of tea.
Huw Spink, 40, trawled through thousands of images of the Sixties icons to compile his collection.
The music-mad librarian admitted: “A little warning – if you start looking for a cup of tea in Beatles pictures, it’s hard to stop.
Huw said it all started when a friend asked for help to find a snap of George Harrison drinking tea.
He said: “After searching for a long time there he was, holding his cuppa looking so proud.
“I started looking for more pictures and four years on, I still am. There are hundreds of them.”
Huw is such a big fan he moved from his hometown of Aberystwyth, Mid Wales, 18 years ago to the band’s birthplace of Liverpool.
He said: “I spend most of my time dreaming about The Beatles.”
Huw has collected pictures from the internet and videos and is sent photos by fellow fans.
He produces a fanzine called The Teatles to share the images – and come together with other music lovers.
Huw said: “They don’t just talk about the Beatles. Most articles are about fans of The Beatles.
“I think every fan has a story worth sharing, and that’s what I’m trying to do – breaking down the difference between writers and readers.”
The fanzine is sent all over the world – including as far as Delhi.

Huw added: “The response has been nice, friendly and supportive. I hope the people feel a sense of ownership. That’s the idea.
“There’s always something to discover. For example there’s a version of Lucy in the Sky where you could hear John taking a sip of his tea before starting to sing.
“What makes the Teatles special is the discovery of the ordinary inside the spectacular.
“I’m also proud to know I have a little in common with John Lennon – we both take our tea with milk and two sugars.”
