Global Beatles Day goes official for the first time, marking historic June 25 broadcast

The Global Beatles Day, observed annually on June 25 since 2009, will this year be held as an official event for the first time. According to Euronews, celebrations marking the occasion will take place around the world, both online and in-person.

On 25 June 1967, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr walked into Studio One at London’s Abbey Road Studios and performed the first international satellite television broadcast of their beloved song ‘All You Need Is Love’.

Written by Lennon, the song was partly inspired by Lewis Carroll’s 1871 poem “The Walrus and the Carpenter.”
