On July 7, Ringo and Beatles fans will be gathering all over the world to say “Peace and Love” and
to wish Ringo a happy birthday.

In England the meeting point chosen was outside Abbey Road Studios in London. The event will be
organised by Richard Porter, Beatles tour guide and owner of the Beatles Coffee Shop in St John’s
Wood. Richard says, “I think this is a great way of celebrating Ringo’s birthday. Even though
wanting ‘peace and love’ may seem old-fashioned nowadays, in this troubled world we need it more
than ever.”

Abbey Road Studios is the perfect meeting point in London for the occasion. Richard says, “The
Beatles recorded nearly all their songs at Abbey Road and it is the most famous Beatles location in
London. It is also where The Beatles recorded All You Need is Love in front of a worldwide TV
audience of 400 million people in 1967.”

Fans are asked to gather at the Beatles Coffee Shop, St John’s Wood Underground Station at 11.30am
or outside Abbey Road Studios at 11.45am.
