The photographers were Ethan Russell and Monte Fresco, with additional pictures taken by The Beatles’ assistant Mal Evans. Some low-quality film footage was also shot by Paul McCartney’s wife, Linda.

The last pictures were taken in a corner of the main house’s southern balcony.

It was the last occasion in which Lennon, McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were all together for band duties; thereafter their only meetings were business-related.
