Notes: On this day, September 14, The Beatles and their crew discovered a secluded cornfield in Tregurrian, close to Watergate
Bay, where they had filmed the previous day. As they set up the camera and lighting equipment, large crowds gathered, causing the police to manage the ensuing traffic congestion.

Two scenes were shot in the field, but only one featuring passengers cramming into a small tent – made the final cut. The
unused scene showed George Harrison meditating to his song "Blue Jay Way" while donning an oversized blue jacket.

Afterward, the group returned to the Atlantic Hotel in Newquay for a late 4pm lunch, accompanied by live music from the in-house
band. Though the meal was filmed, it didn`t make it into the final production.
