I could swear that there were a number of close ups of Judy Geeson crying during the final songs in the theater. I know that the teens were hired to react to a film of the Beatles playing, and that Phil Collins also was supposedly in the audience.
Has anyone noticed that?
Yes, I noticed many years ago what looked like a young Judy Geeson. As for Phil Collins, I have never managed to spot him, although I have also heard that he was somewhere in the audience. He went to the same school as I did and was in the same year (but not in the same class). There is a school photograph showing him in the summer of 1963, so he would have been only a few months older during the filming of AHDN (during the winter of 1963/64, judging by the bareness of the trees). Below is a link to the photograph. Phil is in the front row, extreme left, as you look at the photo.

In cast credits here, Phil Collins is described as sitting in audience, with necktie.
Watching film now & will let you know if I spot him. Dvds make this so much easier. Actually, I thought Phil was one of the young kids chasing Fab 4 at film's beginning, as one boy in front does resemble him, In my opinion.
I think Phil Collins' mother was a talent scout so that's why Phil got into movie. She also discovered Jack Wild and Arthur Wild but only Jack got famous.
