There were reports that Ringo even had had a haircut for the occasion. George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr, standing solemnly in a row, received the award, the lowest of five divisions of the order, for service to their country. As the Queen pinned the medals on their lapels, she asked, “How long have you been together now?”“Oh, for many years,” said Paul. “Forty years,” said Ringo, and everybody laughed. The group started in the 1950’s as the Quarrymen. “Are you the one that started it all?” the Queen asked Ringo. Ringo said the others had started it. “I’m the little one,” he added. The Queen presented the medals in Buckingham Palace in a cream-and-gold room with an organ at one end and six chandeliers overhead. “A keen pad,” Paul said later. Speaking of the Queen later, Paul said: “She’s lovely — great. She was very friendly. She was just like a mum to us.” George related that the Queen was “sort of motherly and smiling to put us at our ease.” Apart from having become the most popular British musicians ever, the Beatles have brought many millions of pounds into the British Treasury from their recordings and movies. Although many other entertainers have been honored, the awards to the Beatles, two of whom are 22 and two 24, brought numerous letters of protest. Two holders of the M.B.E., a former member of Parliament and a former Royal Air Force squadron leader, returned their medals to the Queen. The award entitles the Beatles to put the letters M.B.E. after their names. The M.B.E. ranks 120th in the 126 titles of precedence. It is the most widely given honor. Four thousand Beatle fans outside Buckingham Palace were not overawed. Their squeals and chants drowned out the pipes of the Scots Guards. The band of the Grenadier Guard Policemen linked arms to hold them back but could not prevent them from climbing the gates and lampposts.
