On Sunday 27 August 1967, two days after The Beatles' arrival in Bangor, north Wales, news broke of the death of their manager Brian Epstein.

The Beatles were in Bangor to study Transcendental Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

News of Epstein's death had already reached the British press, and reporters were gathering around the college entrance. McCartney immediately made his way back to London, but John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, visibly shocked by the news, spoke briefly to reporters before leaving Wales.

In 2002, Bangor University unveiled a plaque to commemorate the 35th anniversary of The Beatles' visit in the Hugh Owen Hall, which is now part of Bangor Business School's Management Centre.
