It was 60 yrs ago today...

June 11, 1965. Macca serving up good face after Brian Epstein requested that Paul McCartney and Jane Asher return from their Portuguese holiday a day early, so all The Beatles could be in Britain on the day it was announced that they would be awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire.

The press embargo restricting publication of the Queen’s Birthday Honors list was lifted during the evening, to allow the next day’s newspapers to carry the news.

The Beatles collected their MBEs from Buckingham Palace on 26 October 1965. Via Beatles Bible.

Basically what happened when The Beatles met Elvis:

Taken from the quote:

(On meeting Elvis) "When they arrived on August 27, 1965, it took some time for the superstars to get comfortable. Presley finally said, 'Look guys, if you’re just going to sit and stare at me, then I’m going to bed.'"

(The Beatles Every Little Thing, Maxwell Mackenzie)

1965: Help! The Boy is So Stoned

I can’t remember if it was Paul or Ringo (or John) who said they were astonishingly high on weed through most of this movie (Help!), and that Paul was basically useless for many of the scenes.  I’d love to see the actual video of this interview.
