On this day Ringo Starr filmed part of his solo sequence for The Beatles’ debut film A Hard Day’s Night.
The location was the Turks Head pub on Winchester Road in Twickenham, Middlesex. Ringo was filmed trying to eat a stale sandwich, ruining a game of shove ha’penny, accidentally smashing a beer glass, and throwing some badly-aimed darts.
