Years since I've done this and it may be all over the news, but........

Which event, that everybody knows about, but may not, took place 50 years ago this week?

Thank you and good luck - (hopefully it won't take 10 seconds)

Well done Baphornet.

Taken 8th August 1969

Coincidentally, I think the Manson murders were going on at almost the same time (given the time difference to the West Coast)

And the tv mini series about Manson was entitled Helter Skelter, a Beatles song off the White Album.

The webcam is mildly interesting and very good quality.
Wonder if anything will be going on at 11:30am tomorrow?

Abbey Road seems very busy on the webcam. Bus drivers are struggling.

The webcam service seems to be struggling too, with worldwide hits, I presume

The underprepared police turned up way too late to sort out traffic.
