Hans Remembers- 50 years ago today- In what turned out to be the final Beatles photo shoot- at John Lennon’s house and grounds at Tittenhurst Park in Sunninghill near Ascot, Berkshire where John and Yoko Ono had recently moved. At the time they didn’t know going in that this would be it- the final time they would all be together as a band- after this the times they would be together would be business oriented. As Ringo would later say “It was just a photo session. I wasn’t there thinking, ‘OK, this is the last photo session.’
It had to be clear though to all the band members that the end was nearing.

Every picture tells a story, don’t it?
In all those pictures and the ones I didn’t put on – from that session- long faces..bored. I don’t want to be here look… sad.
They seemed angry too. Like, “I don’t want to even be around you.”
I think looking at those pictures makes it even more remarkable that they had just finished Abbey Road- which listening to it- seems like a band that isn’t having issues.
I see Paul brought Martha and George brought a big hat. They had a good run.
Yoko and Linda were also present.
