Roadblock 080869

Today marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most celebrated album covers of all time: The Beatles’ Abbey Road cover, taken on August 8th 1969. Hundreds of Beatles fans descended on the pedestrian crossing outside the Abbey Road recording studios today, many attempting to recreate the iconic album cover. If you can’t make it to Abbey Road today, however, there’s a live stream of the crossing available on the Abbey Road website…through which you can vicariously watch tourists and fans re-enacting the cover while avoiding being run over by the traffic.
