Yesterday on Wednesday 27 March 2013 spectators at the Ambassador Theatre (London) were in for a real surprise.
James McCartney (the only son of Paul McCartney) was scheduled to perform at a warm-up for his pending American tour, but he was joined on stage by his dad (Paul McCartney) and Ron Wood (Rolling Stones).
Paul played piano on three songs, and Ron Wood apparently played acoustic guitar on six songs.
When Sgt. Peppers was released in 1967, the album started with the magical words "it was 20 year ago today". Well now we are 50 years later and the Beatles are still going strong on the radio, television, and every now and then even in the charts. So welcome to "It was 50 years ago today" where we will publish every day a news item about what happened that day in Beatles History...only 50 years later!

Stella McCartney is honoured by the Queen
On Tuesday 26 March 2013, Stella McCartney, the second child of Beatle Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman, received her OBE medal from Queen Elizabeth II.
OBE stands for "Order of the British Empire", and it is the same award or distinction that her father received in 1965. On that occasion some angry war veterans sent back their medals...but it is extremely unlikely that anyone will send theirs back now that Stella has one.
41-year-old Stella McCartney received the medal as a distinction for her service in the fashion industry, and probably also for her work during (and before) the British Olympic Games in London 2012.
