Beatles' fans flock to Abbey Road...


Fans of the Fab Four are flocking to the most famous pedestrian crossing in Britain for the 40th anniversary on Saturday of the taking of one of the greatest images in rock 'n' roll history.

It was outside the Abbey Road recording studios at 11.35am on August 8, 1969 that the Beatles strutted purposefully from one side of the street to another, for the cover of what would be their final album as a group.

Scottish photographer Iain Macmillan, standing on a stepladder in the middle of the road, had just 10 minutes to knock off six frames of John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison traversing the zebra crossing. More...

Don't miss:

  1. A Day in the Life of Abbey Road...
  2. Eternal Abbey Road...
  3. The Beatles' "Two of Us" with upbeat tempo...
