On June 25 the newly inaugurated Global Beatles Day honored The Beatles’ June 25, 1967 BBC Our World performance of "All You Need Is Love." The Our World broadcast linked TV audiences globally and carried The Beatles’ satellite performance to roughly 400 million viewers. Ringo Starr recalled the moment as being "for love and bloody peace." Tributes on the day included new drawings, cover versions, archival clips and renewed conversation about curiosities from the original broadcast such as the identity of the walrus. The inauguration establishes June 25 as an annual commemoration and has driven fresh attention to archival footage and catalog reissues tied to the 1967 performance.
