Unseen photos of The Beatles to go on sale The 87-year-old's daughter, Jacqueline Griffin, said while the world was embracing Beatlemania her father thought they were just another band he got to know through his job. "He was just that type of person who always had a camera round his neck," she said. It was not unusual for him to be on set and taking pictures. He wanted to take pictures of one of the crew, a mate Alfie, and they were there, it was when The Beatles were on stage. He got to know them quite well but he was just not that interested. I think they just larked about and had a good time. He was not particularly star-struck. They were just four lads in a band, it didn't really hit him. They are unpublished and never seen. They've been in a family album since 1964. He's never held any value on them because he was not into The Beatles, he was just working on the films. He doesn't have any sentimental attachment. They're just dads pictures. He didn't like the music, he was into jazz. A menu card, signed by John, Paul, George and Ringo from the band's trip aboard the BOAC Cunard, London to New York flight will also go under the hammer at the sale. The four lads from Liverpool, given a choice including the finest wines from the vineyards of Bordeaux, champagne and clear turtle soup amontillado, were en route to the Bahamas, along with Mr Allchorne for the filming of Help! in February 1965. A second unsigned menu card from the return leg of the journey features a mis-spelling of "The Beattles" - with the errant "t" expected to attract extra interest from bidders because of its novelty. However the photos taken of The Beatles on their Bahamas trip have been lost forever - after Mr Allchorne's camera was stolen from the beach. The remaining photos taken in London, along with the original negatives, have been given an estimate of £2,000 and the entire lot £10,000. The sale will take place at Omega Auctions in Stockport, Cheshire, on May 19
