An unexpected call turned out to be the sweetest thing for a bookshop after it hosted a visit from a music superstar.

Jo Legerton, who works at Manchester's Chorlton Bookshop, said she thought it was "a hoax" when someone rang to say Bono would be visiting on Saturday.

However, it ended up being a beautiful day as the U2 singer popped in for 45 minutes, ahead of his show in the city.

Ms Legerton said she jokingly asked if he had a desire to do Christmas shifts at the shop, but he sadly declined.

The singer was in Manchester as part of his tour promoting his new book, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story.

Why didn’t he just go in the shop instead of phoning first ?,
