A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE BEATLES

• 1969: John Lennon and Yoko Ono holiday in Wales.Prior to embarking on a motoring holiday in Scotland, John and Yoko paid a quick visit to Wales.They drove to Tywyn, a seaside resort on the Cardigan Bay, on the west coast of Wales. With them were Lennon’s six-year-old son Julian and Ono’s five-year-old daughter Kyoko Cox. They are pictured here in the rear garden of the Corbett Arms Hotel.
  
  The visit was just days before the investiture ceremony held at Caernarfon Castle in north Wales for Charles, Prince of Wales, which took place on 1 July 1969.
  The tourists sent a postcard, bearing the image of the 20-year-old prince, to Ringo and his family, c/o Peter Brown at the Apple offices at 3 Savile Row, London. It contained the simple message: “Hello”.
  The postcard, bearing the postmark of Tywyn and dated 23 June 1969, was included in Starr’s 2004 book Postcards From The Boys.
  
• 1968: Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman spend time together in Los Angeles.The day after they fell in love in Los Angeles, Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman spent much of the day together at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he was staying as part of an Apple promotional trip. The previous evening they had visited the Whiskey-A-Go-Go club, before returning to the hotel in the small hours.
  

  "The next day, evening more fans turned up and mobbed the hotel. Crowds of fans were milling in and around the main entrance, lobby and grounds, while Paul and Linda were still in bed making love. Finally, to thank them all for coming, Paul got up and sat on the steps of the bungalow, playing his guitar and singing to them – I think it was Blackbird – while Linda kept quietly in the background, not wanting to be seen." (Tony Bramwell).
   

  At lunchtime the Apple party – which included Paul, label boss Ron Kass, and McCartney’s childhood friend Ivan Vaughan and Apple employee Tony Bramwell – visited Capitol Records president Alan Livingston at his home in Beverly Hills, before spending the afternoon at the home of Capitol executive Ken Fritz.
  

  "On returning to the bungalow, Linda passed around a Victorian cloth drawstring bag stuffed full of grass. In London this bag became her trademark, the legendary ‘spice-bag’ that [Ronnie] Plonk Lane of the Faces wrote about in a song. All kinds of music people started to drop by, like Roger McGuinn from the Byrds. Boyce and Hart, the songwriters for the Monkees, telephoned to invite us to one of their notorious toga parties, a Hollywood version of a Roman orgy. Paul asked me to turn down all invitations so he could spend time alone with Linda. I did, but a leggy young starlet named Peggy Lipton, who had met Paul during their last America tour and still had designs on him, kept calling all through the night."(Tony Bramwell).
