Beatles fans mark 50th anniversary of iconic Abbey Road album cover
Fans travelled from all over the world to mark the anniversary, with one man saying he had travelled on a plane for the first time to make the journey from Canada, while others from America, Mexico, Argentina, Japan and Australia also joined the crowds.
Ray Atkins, who lives in nearby Queens Park, claimed he was there when the famous picture was taken 50 years ago. "The Beatles are a cultural phenomenon," Mr Pellico said."We're all here because they walked across a road and made it look cool. Every day people come here to take pictures of themselves walking across. You can't overestimate the power of their music."David Minchin and Mervin Johns, who perform as George and Ringo in Fab Gear, said it was interesting to get just a small taste of Beatlemania as the crowds surrounded them.
"For them to have survived it and stay such normal people and still create music years afterwards is an incredible indication of their talent and importance. To be inside it would have been a crazy thing.
