Notes: The Beatles united for a final photographic session on 22 August 1969. It was also the last occasion in which all four
members were together for band duties; thereafter their only meetings were business-related.

The shoot took place in the house and grounds of Tittenhurst Park, John Lennon and Yoko Ono`s home in Sunninghill near Ascot,
Berkshire. The couple had moved in earlier in the month on 11 August, although they had bought the 72-acre estate on 4 May 1969.

The photo shoot took place two days after their final recording session together. The photographers were Ethan Russell and Monte
Fresco, with additional pictures taken by The Beatles assistant Mal Evans. Some low-quality film footage was also shot, some
of which is thought to have been shown on the BBC Two arts programme Late Night Line-Up on 19 September 1969, during an Abbey Road special.

This lovely colour footage first came to light at the very end "The Beatles Anthology" TV specials.It isn`t known how much
footage exists but some more previously unseen footage was shown in the promo film of "Here Comes The Sun" in September 2019 to
promote the remastered version of the Beatles "Abbey Road" album.
