His comedy character Alan Partridge once mused 'my favourite Beatles album, I would have to say The Best of The Beatles.' And Steve Coogan was on fine form as he jokingly repeated the line ahead of Sir Paul McCartney's emotional headline set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
The BBC caught up with the Middleton-born comedian at Worthy Farm as the 80-year-old former Beatle made history on Saturday night as the festival's oldest-ever solo headliner, following 20-year-old pop megastar Billie Eilish becoming the youngest on Friday night. And fans were delighted to see Steve getting stuck into the set via a 'fan cam.'
The Middleton-born comedian admitted he was rendered 'speechless' over last night’s set, lasting more than two hours, as Sir Paul performed beloved tracks by The Beatles and his later group Wings including Golden Slumbers, Can't Buy Me Love and Live and Let Die. And he was captured joining in the "Na, na, na, na-na-na, na" chorus on Hey Jude.
