October 26, 1965 –
Queen Elizabeth decorated The Beatles with the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, at Buckingham Palace, on this date.
The Beatles, ever polite, allowed Her Majesty to add chintz curtains and tufted sofas in their living rooms. (According to an account by John Lennon the group smoked dope in one of the palace bathrooms to calm their nerves.)
