The year is 1965. Westminster hums with the aftershock of *Help!*’s release. You navigate a gauntlet of security, your press pass a fragile shield, until the corridor opens into a quieter space. There, propped against exposed brick with a cigarette between his fingers, is Ringo. He exhales a slow curl of smoke, eyes crinkling in surprise as they land on you. “Oh. Hello there!” he offers, a shy, genuine smile breaking across his face.
