A fourth Side By Side appearance was pencilled in for taping from 2.00 to 6.00 pm; this was cancelled ahead of time so that The Beatles could travel to Stowe for a concert. Following the session, Karl Denver Trio guitarist Kevin Neill filmed The Beatles and Neil Aspinall on Regent Street preparing to leave; the silent footage was used in Apple's 1995 promo for the "Baby It's You" single.
Dezo Hoffmann and his assistant David Magnus were also present to shoot some photos outside the Paris Studio, including a couple later used on Apple's Live At The BBC album cover, although not without major alterations.
After the BBC session, The Beatles stopped by Cecil Gee's menswear establishment at 39 Shaftesbury Avenue, where Dezo Hoffmann photographed them perusing the wares.
Most of the above photos were taken by Dezo Hoffmann.
Hunter Davies recalled: ""I later met David Moores, the chairman of Liverpool FC, he's not a 'posho' you know, not got a local accent, and he told me a good Beatles' story.
"After the band suddenly became famous they were still booked for little gigs, including one at Stowe School, where David Moores was. Apparently, his father knew Brian Epstein's parents and they therefore honoured their commitment to perform for just £20.""
