Global Beatles Day: What is it and why is it celebrated

The reason for choosing June 25 to celebrate the band has a story behind it. On this day, the song ‘All you need is love’, written by Lennon was performed for the first time on the BBC program Our World in 1967. It was broadcast in 26 countries and was watched by 400 million people. Faith Cohen, the originator of the idea was quoted as saying in an interview with KeepIn Calendar, “The purpose is to have a globally recognised day to thank and acknowledge the Beatles for all they have done to change the world.”  

Over the years, The Beatles has achieved an iconic status. They are one of the best selling bands in history and has had over 800 million albums, both physical and digital copies. They are the recipients of seven Grammy Awards, fifteen Ivor Novello Awards, and Academy Award for Best Original Song Score.

Every year this day is celebrated by fans on several social media platforms, remembering the band that was and the words they left behind.
