The crossing has since become the most famous road crossing in the world with many Beatles fans visiting and crossing it every day, much to the annoyance of passing motorists! I've been there a few times now with other people from this board and was wondering if anyone will be there for the 40th anniversary? I haven't heard of anything going on yet, but it's still over two months away. I'm sure something will happen.

It's a way off yet. You do need to work though Dani to earn some more flight money to see Paul in Peru. If indeed he does perform there.
