Ward's photo-essay was shot during twenty-four hours during February 1963, the day The Beatles discovered they had achieved their first UK No. 1 single. Ward’s photographs of The Beatles on the cusp of Beatlemania beautifully portray the band strolling through the streets and along the docks of Liverpool, at Brian Epstein’s NEMS offices, even rehearsing and performing one of their final gigs at The Cavern. Through extensive interviews with Michael Ward, A Day in the Life paints a picture of four young men whose lives were about to change.
