The Beatles

On this week in 1969 The Beatles released their album 'Abbey Road'. The iconic album cover turned a pedestrian crossing in London into an internationally famous landmark still visited by legions of fans today. 

Linda McCartney was on hand 

to document the album cover's photo shoot which took place in August of the same year.

To celebrate the anniversary www.PaulMcCartney.com will be publishing a selection of Linda's photos from the shoot starting with today's image of the group beginning to walk over the crossing.

on Friday to see the full collection.
