Notes: Meanwhile, the other three Beatles left their Adelaide hotel at 12.15 and flew to Melbourne on a chartered Ansett ANA Fokker Friendship. They were greeted by a crowd of 5,000.

At the hotel, meanwhile, there were so many people hoping to catch a glimpse of them that army and navy troops were called in.

The Beatles were given a police escort of 12 motorcyclists during their route into Melbourne at 4pm. They were driven into a
garage entrance at the Southern Cross and a police car pulled up at the front as a diversion. A scene of mayhem ensued, with 300
police officers and 100 military personnel attempting to keep the crowd at bay.
