Here Comes The Sun (doo doo doo doo)


Yesterday morning,I got up and went on a walking tour of The Beatles. It was the start of the perfect day drinking a cup of coffee made fresh with a little Beatle's love :)


John


Paul


George


Ringo


Abbey Road Studios where The Beatles recorded 90% of their albums with Brian Epstein-The Beatle's manager until his death from a drug overdose in 1967.


The wall outside of Abbey Road Studios is covered in good wishes, memories, and song quotes from devoted fans from around the world. It's completely legal and not considered vandalism. They repaint over the wall every few months so more people can make their mark.




One of my favorite Beatle's songs.


Of course I signed; I'll definitely go back and write some more stuff later, it was really busy when we were there. I also need to take the infamous Abbey Road zebra crossing photo :)


The house where Paul McCartney lived while with The Beatle's.


The stoop where John Lennon, Yoko, and company were caught smoking some mary jane...


The Palladium Theatre, a historic theatre in the heart of London's Piccadilly Circus where The Beatle's had one of their most famous performances. Ed Sullivan was visiting London at this time and saw a poster and thousands of screaming girls and asked what all the fuss was about. Just months later, The Beatle's made their epic Ed Sullivan appearance :)


Our tour guide Simon :) He was a goofball, but very informative. He definitely knew his Beatle's history! He is standing on the stoop of Apartment #3, the place where The Beatle's performed on the roof in 1970. It was for a small crowd, family and friends at first, but then people started to hear where it was coming from and climbed onto the roofs of all the surrounding flats. Because of the roar of the crowds and the music, the bank across the street called the police on them and that is essentially what marked the end of The Beatle's as we knew them. There were record gusts recorded in the U.K. up to 160 km/h! If they were steady, it would have been considered a hurricane. The largest gust in London was recorded at 60 km/h! Hope the weather is better at home and all is well :)
