John Lennon and Paul McCartney's sons took a photo together and the resemblance is uncanny

Talk about a flashback.

If you need proof that the legacy of The Beatles still looms large across the world, look no further than this Instagram photo.

On Tuesday, Sean Ono Lennon, son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, shared a photo with Jamey McCartney, son of Paul and Linda McCartney. You'd be forgiven for doing a double-take.

Yep, that's a current photo, not an outtake from, say, the White Album recordings which happened 50 years ago this summer.

Both Sean and Jamey are musicians in their own right, but there's no word if the photo was just a friendly gathering or taken during a musical collaboration.

In January 2017, Sean was photographed hanging out with fashion designer -- and Jamey's sister -- Stella McCartney.
