Global Beatles Day June 25

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Beatles_Day

Global Beatles Day (also known as World Beatles Day) is an annual holiday held on 25 June each year to commemorate the legacy and cultural impact of the English rock band the Beatles. The date, 25 June, was chosen to commemorate the date that the Beatles participated in the BBC show Our World in 1967, performing "All You Need Is Love" broadcast to an international audience. The holiday was created and first celebrated in 2009 by Faith Cohen, who called it "a thank you or love letter" to the band.

I watched this global telecast in 1967 on my 19” black and white TV.

Thanks, Steve. Did not know there was such a thing.
Now, I'm going to surf some fan forums.
