Notes: The Beatles performed two shows at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada, on this day. They had previously played at
the venue on 7 September 1964, and returned for a third and final time on 17 August 1966.

The group flew from New York to Toronto in the Lockheed Electra aeroplane chartered by Brian Epstein from American Flyers for this 1965 US tour.

They arrived in the morning and were taken to the King Edward Sheraton hotel. News that The Beatles were staying at the Sheraton
had become known to fans, and dozens booked themselves rooms in the hope of meeting the group.

This includes some nice footage of the Beatles departing their plane.
