Meeting Paul in person in Antwerp
-
Hello You all, I'm a Beatles fan for all my life. I've seen eight McCartney concerts so far, first time in 1989 in Rotterdam. Last week I've won a Meet & Greet with Paul in Antwerp. In fact I won a contest on the Belgian Radio 1 where listeners had to ask a question to Paul. So, my question won! It was about the relation between the Beatles' Apple and the Belgian painter Rene Magritte. You can hear Paul answering my question here on the radio:
After a wonderful soundcheck my daughter (a big Beatles fan too) and myself met Paul backstage and with other contest winners this photo was taken: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shakespier/7046246381/in/photostream Paul was very friendly and it was simply unbelievable to shake his hand. I'm very glad to share this with you all. I'd wish every fan could have a moment like this. Finally Paul played a fabulous 3-hours concert in Antwerp. So I can call this my best day in my life! Thanks Paul, we love you! Eddie from Belgium -
Great picture of a great memory for you! Congrats! I wish we all could a contest like that! Thanks for posting it.

Welcome to the forum Eddie!
Great to hear that you got to meet Paul backstage! I would also like to congratulate you on your chance to ask Paul about the Rene Magritte (I'm a huge Apple aficionado and would have dropped dead at the opportunity to ask such a question). 
I hope you enjoy your time here and feel free to ask an member of the moderating team for assistance, if necessary. -
Thank you all!
