Whilst back for the Lincoln game saw this picture in a gallery when strolling around the Barbican. Further investigations show that it was taken in 1967 during the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. I was unaware that the position where they sat is remembered with bronze outlines on the ground, enabling friends to recreate the picture, similar to what people fans do on the Abbey Road zebra crossing.

I spent two years on Fearless and many trips on the LSLs and both Commando Carriers and almost everyone onboard agreed that when rounding Rame Head and coming into the Western entrance was one of the best sights anywhere in the world from seaward. we are blessed.

On a par with Valetta Harbour Malta? That's a hell of a sight.

My wife bought me this as a Christmas present a few years ago, and it now hangs proudly in the stairwell.

What's not to like, a great present to receive. I would have been very tempted to buy the picture myself but the gallery wasn't open at the time but, yes, I will be purchasing a copy.

Apologoes, no fotos but a couple of memories.
Does anyone remember or have pictures of a very 50's/60's cafe/diner(?) that used to be situated in Cornwall St. or New George St. II remember it had chrome type spin stools at the bar/counter.
My mum and dad used to take us there as kids for the doughnuts.
Talking of which, whatever happened to the recipe of those doughnuts? They had a very soft, yellow dough and tasted so different to todays palid, over fried offerings. They weren't sparing with the jam filling either then.

If the chocolate cake was just as good, it was probably Goodbody's. They certainly had high stools around a horse shoe shaped "bar" counter.

Much better, green, less built up and no dhaisos.

The doughnuts scream Woollies.

Now that's a great photo. Never seen it before.
I know they were on Westward TV at the the studios just along from the ABC, before their gig that is. Maybe that's where this photo was taken, on their way to the ABC. The Athenaeum is on the left.

I saw South Pacific in the Drake!

Was it a silent film or a talkie talkie?
