Thousands of Beatles fans come to Abbey Road zebra

Thousands of Beatles fans came to London yesterday, on 50th anniversary of photo shoot that made the cover of Beatles' 'Abbey Road' record. The Beatles were pictured striding across the road the album was named after on 8 August 1969, now, it is one of iconic pop-culture photos. In 1969 it was one of the last places the Beatles stood together as a band, since they broke-up not long afterwards, but yesterday, as BBC reports, it was a place of happiness, and friendliness, and love (one guy, a Paul McCartney impersonator, judging by his bare feet, proposed his girlfriend). Boston Globe has some nice pictures.
