#YellowSub - It's recently charmed the denizens of Belfast - and now the famous Yellow Submarine is making its way from the Lagan to the Liffey to mark the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' first and only performances in Ireland.

As the News Letter reports, the colourful miniature vessel - a tribute to the 1968 album and animated movie of the same name - is headed to Dublin on the date the Fab Four played the old Adelphi Cinema five decades ago.

And it will also reach the Irish capital in time for a special weekend celebration of Beatlemania, the Dublin Beatles Festival from 7-10 November.

But Belfast fans have their own memories of the Liverpool lads' visit to their city - and even some who weren't born at the time are joining in with the festivities, such as 42-year-old Alan Gilfillan, the man at the controls of the former oil rig lifeboat converted to resemble the famous sunny-coloured sub.
