I'm more than a little pissed off that i was unable to swap yesterday's off to today so i'm unable to spend a visit Abbey Rd for the events happening today. I popped down yesterday, there were lots of people milling about and i popped into The Abbey Rd Beatles store that i never knew about, it's been open since 2015. I may post some pictures from my facebook later.

I would love to see the photographs. well if one of my colleagues can show me how to copy my pictures on here i'll do that , i can barely copy youtube ha ha . I showed my manager footage of the crowds at Abbey Road and explained why i wanted this day off so he immediately said , off you go we can mange here it's quiet. So i popped down around 5pm for an hour , it was still busy but most of the events happened during the day as you'll see from the BBC Site. I'm lucky living just a few stops on the Tube to visit this hallowed ground, it always feels special to be there and there are non stop tourists there of all ages making the pilgrimage. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49279293

My now-40-year-old nephew crossed the Atlantic a number of years ago and, I believe, had his picture made walking across that spot. I don't know that I have that picture anywhere.
And I wonder if the guy in the link, third in line, really smokes in real life. Are those socks, or are his feet really that white? Compare his feet to the real Paul's feet in the album cover photo.
I remember when they said that, since people are buried barefoot, that was "proof" that the real Paul was dead. But they lost me at the 28IF part (VW license plate in the background). He was 27 in 1969.

I saw this chap on the BBC news last night, the gist of what he said is in this older clip...
