The shot opposite was taken in February 1967, opposite John, dressed in green, is Lizzie Bravo. Lizzie remembers that there would be far fewer fans outside of the studios at the end of a session compared to the number waiting to greet The Beatles on their arrival; now and again John would pose for her camera at the top of the steps outside EMI as he left in the early hours of the morning.
