June 25 is Global Beatles Day falls on 25th June for a reason
On that day in 1967, The Beatles closed Our World - the first live international satellite television broadcast in history - by performing "All You Need Is Love" to the largest audience television had ever reached.
When manager Brian Epstein told the group they'd been chosen to represent England, the BBC's brief was clear: the song had to be simple enough for a watching world that, for the most part, didn't speak English. As George later put it, "Because of the mood of the time, it seemed to be a great idea to perform that song… we'll sing All You Need Is Love, because it's a subtle bit of PR for God."
What they performed was "All You Need Is Love" - built to be understood by a watching world that, for the most part, didn't speak English. Looking back years later, Ringo put it plainly: "We were big enough to command an audience of that size, and it was for love. It was for love and bloody peace."
The message The Beatles offered was deliberately simple, but effective. It still is.
On 25th June, express your fandom and share The Beatles’ message: All you need is love.
