Hundreds of people gathered at the world’s most famous zebra crossing on Thursday to mark the 50anniversary of the day the Beatles created one of the best-known album covers in music history and an image imitated by countless fans ever since.

The picture shows Lennon in a white suit leading the group across the road. Starr wears a black suit while McCartney is barefoot, out of step and holding a cigarette. Harrison is in blue denim. A Volkswagen Beetle is parked in the background. Abbey Road, which was voted the best Beatles album by readers of Rolling Stone in 2009, was the only one of the group’s original British albums to show neither the band’s name nor a title on the cover.
