A mechanic, Neil John Lewis, has been sentenced to a 12-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work after pleading guilty to fraud by false representation for issuing a fraudulent MOT certificate. The car was involved in a fatal crash in St Mellons, Cardiff, in March 2023, which killed three people—Eve Smith, Darcy Ross, and Rafel Jeanne—and left two others critically injured.

Sir Paul McCartney has revealed he contacted director Sir Sam Mendes to raise a humorous objection over his height relative to John Lennon in the upcoming Beatles cinematic project. McCartney, who will be played by Paul Mescal alongside Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, joked that he noticed Mescal looked shorter in a recreation of the Abbey Road crossing.

McCartney also expressed past frustration with the 2009 film Nowhere Boy, where he felt his character was depicted as smaller and wimpy compared to a heroic John Lennon.
