About
After the death of their manager Brian Epstein on August 27, 1967, The Beatles didn’t attend his funeral in Liverpool, held on August 29. However, on this day, they did pay their respects by attending a memorial service held at the New London Synagogue at 33 Abbey Road, London.
The service, which took place at 6 pm, was officiated by Rabbi Louis Jacobs, who praised Epstein “encouraging young people to sing of love and peace rather than war and hatred.” Other artists from Brian Epstein’s management company, NEMS, including Cilla Black, Gerry Marsden, The Fourmost, and Billy J Kramer, also attended the service. Press photographers were not permitted inside the synagogue, allowing for a private moment of reflection for The Beatles and their fellow artists to mourn their loss.

The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years
"With greatly expanded text, this is the most revealing and frank personal 30-year chronicle of the group ever written. Insider Barry Miles covers the Beatles story from childhood to the break-up of the group."
We owe a lot to Barry Miles for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles during the Beatles years!
If we like to think, in all modesty, that the Paul McCartney Project is the best online ressource for everything Paul McCartney, The Beatles Bible is for sure the definitive online site focused on the Beatles. There are obviously some overlap in terms of content between the two sites, but also some major differences in terms of approach.
