| Well, here's a little something different. Four aspiring Beatles - currently working themselves to the bone at Dublin University - managed to break off from their studies to take this quick Abbey Road Crossing re-production. The guys assure me that they will be coming to St John's Wood to walk across the real thing as soon as their studies are finished. Left to right are Diarmaid, Brian, Mark and Paul - all from the beautiful country of Ireland. Thanks guys! |

| Frank Maestas comes from Aurora, Colorado, USA. Here he is 'Crossing Over' on his visit to Abbey Road in May 2004 |
|
| This is a picture of Robert Crosbie from Dublin, Ireland, who recollects: I was excited about the doorway as it was the place where each of the four Beatles were interviewed seperately for British TV in 1967 on the way to a "Sgt Pepper" session. Robert's picture was taken 30 years later in the autumn of 1997. The TV crews were obviously not aware that Robert was going to be there! |

| Mirek Kolar from Prague in the Czeh Republic writes: Hello, I am happy to send you some photographs of me crossing the most famous crossing in the world. The pictures were taken on Friday 30th July 2004........ |

| .........Besides these photos I am also including the look at the whole shooting scene as it was taken by my colleague back home in Prague using the web camera - a picture taken over the distance of 1000 Km with a little bit of cell phone synchronization. To my big surprise this was the day when the wall in front of the studio was being freshly painted white. I wonder how often they have to do this. (The wall has to be re-painted every few months Mirek!) |

| It's always a pleasure to receive pictures from someone after their second (or more!) visit. Last year Eva-Maria Teichert from Bad Dürrheim, Stuttgart in Germany, visited Abbey Road with her son on his 10th visit! Caught by the bug she has returned this year with her friend, Anneliese Haller.......... |
|
| ........here is Anneliese....... |
|
| .........and here is Eva-Maria. We look forward to your next visit! |

| This is René Jordant from Belgium at the sign on 25th August 2004............... |
