Honoured with an MBE
" 'Well, how long have you been together as a band?' [The Queen asked]...Paul and I said, 'We've been together now for forty years and it don't seem a day too much.' She had this strange, quizzical look on her face, like either she wanted to laugh or she was thinking 'Off with their heads!' RINGO
The Beatles visited Buckingham Palace to receive their MBE medals from the Queen on October 16, 1965; two years later they wore them for the album cover photograph of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Four years later John returned his in protest at British involvement in the Biafran war, Vietnam and "against Cold Turkey slipping down the charts."

“@gharrison1221 how do you know that? I thought I was obsessed and I didn't know that but then again I've only began to become obsessed with The Beatles for about 3 weeks and I know more about them then my nan and my nan has liked them from the start she still has the papers from John and George's death (I looked at the George's death more I just liked the picture!!!)”
