The Beatles 'final song' Now And Then released

The Beatles' "final song" - featuring all four members - has been released this afternoon.

Fans across the world were eagerly awaiting the release of the track Now And Then, originally written and recorded by John Lennon in the late 1970s.

The song is being issued as a double A-side single with the band's 1962 debut Love Me Do.

A short documentary about the making of Now And Then was also released last night and featured Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ringo Starr and Lennon's son Sean Ono Lennon.
