The Beatles: Paul McCartney worshipped George Harrison's father after schoolyard fight

Two of The Beatles - Paul McCartney and George Harrison - went to school together, while John Lennon went to the art college next door. (Meanwhile, Ringo Starr joined the band many years later once the band had been formed).

But the foundations of the Fab Four were never too far from one another.

McCartney once looked back fondly on his troubled childhood in an interview in the 1980s. He recalled about how his teacher would beat him and Harrison when they were naughty. But one day their perspective of the punishment changed.

McCartney explained he did "occasionally" get caned while he was in school. Eventually, his friends were punished as well just for knowing him.

"They used to cane us," McCartney recalled. "Six of the best kinda thing. But, erm, I remember this time George got caned, George Harrison, because we were mates at school."
