(Wednesday, April 28, 1965, afternoon) — The Beatles filmed the interior pub scene for their second feature film Help! today at Twickenham Film Studios in London, which culminated with Ringo Starr falling through a trapdoor into a cellar (cellar scenes were shot Apr. 7, 1965; external pub scenes shot Apr. 24, 1965).

During filming for the pub scene, actor Peter Sellers arrived at Twickenham to present The Beatles with Grammy Awards for “A Hard Day’s Night,” which won the Best Performance By A Vocal Group award for 1964, and for Best New Artist.

The brief ceremony was filmed, including an off-the-cuff rendition of “It’s A Long Way To Tipperary.”
