Toronto • 4pm show

A transcript of the press conference is available here.

Paul McCartney saw Dorothy Rhone while in Toronto.

On the cover of the 1967 album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” Paul McCartney is seen wearing an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) badge on his left arm. The origins of this badge have sparked much debate, with several theories attempting to explain its provenance.

In his book “The Beatles in Canada,” Piers Hemmingsen asserts that Corporal Glenn Hickingbottom presented four OPP badges to The Beatles on September 8, 1964, during their visit to Toronto. Another account suggests that an OPP officer in Toronto handed the badge to Paul McCartney in August 1965, when the band performed two shows at Maple Leaf Gardens. A third theory posits that the badge was gifted during The Beatles’ August 1966 visit to Canada.
