Notes: On their final day in the Newquay region, the group enjoyed breakfast before capturing a brief moment on film, in which
they all cheerfully waved at the cameras from the coach and hotel`s entrance.The coach then set off for London, making several
stops along the way to shoot scenes. Although the first scene did not make it into the final edit, it featured people
squeezing into a quaint chip shop called Smedley`s, located at 108 Roman Road in Taunton, Somerset.

The Beatles were filmed ordering food from behind the counter before moving to the main area of the shop to eat their lunch.The
shop was owned by James and Amy Smedley. Mrs Smedley had been cast as an extra for the Newquay scenes, and while conversing
with the Beatles, she mentioned that she and her husband owned a fish and chip shop in Taunton. Unexpectedly, on that
particular Friday, Mrs Smedley received a call announcing the Beatles impending arrival.

Additional filming took place at a rural pub, a hall, a hostel, and inside the coach itself. During the on-board scenes,
accordionist Shirley Evans led the coach passengers in a lively singalong, featuring songs like "Toot Toot Tootsie," "When
Irish Eyes Are Smiling," "When The Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin` Along," and "The Can Can."
