Meet the Beatles superfan who changed his name to John Lennon - and has a grandson called Paul McCartney.<br /><br />John, 72, was born David Presley - but got fed up of being called 'Elvis'.<br /><br />And he was so taken with the Fab Four he decided to change his name 19 years ago.<br /><br />His full name is now John Paul George Ringo Lennon.<br /><br />John's family are also huge Beatles fans and his daughter, Melanie McCartney, has a son - called Paul.<br /><br />John's house in Bridgwater, Somerset is a shrine to the Beatles.<br /><br />He has a room papered with posters and littered with statuettes, and he listens to their music for up to five hours a day.<br /><br />He also some 100 branded t-shirts and wears a different one every day - and regularly steps out in Sgt. Pepper gear.<br /><br />John, a retired fork lift driver, said: "I'm just mad about the Beatles, and I have been for as long as I can remember.<br /><br />"They were just brilliant. And everyone loved them - old and young alike.<br /><br />"Honestly I like every piece of music they've done.<br /><br />"Because of my old name everybody used to call me Elvis and I didn't like it. I love the Beatles the best."<br /><br />John can't remember when he first heard the Beatles but thinks it was on the radio while at home in Bristol as a teenager.<br /><br />He bought their records whenever he could afford to and now owns all their singles, albums - and their work as individual artists.<br /><br />Although he never got to see them live, he always goes along to see tribute bands now.<br /><br />John paid to change his name by deed poll in 2005.<br /><br />And he now likes to step out each day in his Beatles outfits - including four Sergeant Pepper uniforms from the 60s.<br /><br />He also styles his hair with a Beatles look, wears John Lennon glasses and is covered in Beatles tattoos.<br /><br />Each night he hunkers down in Beatles bedding - and even owns four pairs of trainers covered in Beatles photos.<br /><br />John said: "My room is like a museum - there's so much stuff in it.<br /><br />"There are life-sized posters of all four of them and I like to say 'good morning' and 'good evening' to them.<br /><br />"I've got all their names tattooed on me and even a picture of all four on my left leg.<br /><br />"I listen to their music while I'm walking and out on the bus, but mostly when I'm sitting in the evenings. I always sing along.<br /><br />"It just makes me feel so happy and there's not even a tiny bit that I don't like.<br /><br />"Probably my favourite two songs are All You Need Is Love and Give Peace a Chance.<br /><br />"My favourite outfits are probably the Sgt. Pepper uniforms.<br /><br />"I imagine my collection would be worth a lot of money now, but I don't intend on selling it.<br /><br />"And if my kids do I'll come back and haunt them..."<br /><br />John lives with his daughter Melanie McCartney, 42, who changed her name to be like his.<br /><br />Another daughter, Caroline Lennon, did the same, and he has grandchildren called Paul McCartney and Richard Lennon.<br /><br />He added: "I feel very blessed to have four grandchildren now."
