George, Laura, Pattie, John, and Peter had been enjoying their free time with the ravens while Tony told them about the origins of their association with the castle. "Legend has it that if any of these birds get lost of fly away, both the Crown and the kingdom will fall. After being warned about this, King Charles II is thought to have been the first to insist that they be protected here. Today, they're known as the Guardians of the Tower." John said, "Hey, I remember reading about that at school! What a fascinating story indeed." George added, "I'll say!" Peter asked, "Are there any other...

Once they were back outside, the group proceeded to the courtyard to put into action the last step of reversing the Amulet of Bandy's spell. John said, "That SURE was supernatural, me mates!" Laura replied, "Indeed, uncle John! I liked how the ghosts of those princes were friendly towards us." John replied, "Me too, dear Laura." Felix added, "And as I've zei earlier; this is much better than having to watch over prisoners!" "Absolutely!", remarked Laura. A few minuten later when they reached the courtyard, Felix told them to wait while he went to pluck out a feather from one of their ravens....

"Here we are!", exclaimed Felix as everyone reached the top, boven of the tower. George said, "Oooh! I must say it's a good thing we came here in the afternoon! This place seems to be dimly lit." John replied, "I concur." Laura asked, "So, Felix, can u please tell us about its ghost story?" "Your wish is my command!", he replied. "On the death of Edward IV, Edward’s young son, 12 jaar old Edward became King Edward V, under the protection of his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. Wanting to take the Crown for his own, he imprisoned Edward and his young brother Richard right in this part of the castle....

After asking for a lamp from one of his fellow Yeoman Warders, Felix led the walk to the Tower of the Two Princes. Laura said, "I'm really looking vooruit, voorwaarts to Felix telling us about the ghost story behind this tower, daddy George!" He replied, "So am I, Laura, darling. So am I!" Pattie said, "And u and your brother will be back to your normal selves in no time, honey!" George said, "You bet, love!" John added, "Aye, me mate!" Before long, they reached the stairs leading up to the tower, and they began making their way up. As they were doing so, Peter was startled door what sounded like walking...

When the group made it to the Armoury Room, Felix unlocked one of the drawers and took out a big book, which was a listing of further information on the Crown Jewels. After going through several chapters, he found the two pages that featured not only the amulet's backstory, but an illustration of it as well. He then explained, "This stone is known as the Amulet of Bandy (to my curious readers, bandy is used as one of the synonyms for switch. I chose that word because of having quite a nice ring to it.). It dates back to the Tudor era and has the ability to, without warning, swap the minds of...

The others were startled door the commotion just as they had finished their tour of the room. John gasped and said, "Bless me! That sounds like Geo and Pete screaming!" Felix said, "Well, whatever it is, we better go check on them!" The girls especially became concerned. The Harrison brothers themselves had already gotten up after recovering from the amulet's zap. Pattie asked George, "Darling! Are u okay?" He replied with a jovial tone, "Yeah, sweetheart! I am. Just feeling a bit... shaken." Laura said, "Hmm... how peculiar. u don't seem to act like yourself, daddy George." John added, "And...

"Wow. I've never seen anything so marvelous when it comes to gems before!", remarked John as they toured the room where the Crown Jewels had been on display for the public to see. Pattie said, "I know! Seeing them in foto's really IS nothing compared to this!" Laura said, "My thoughts exactly!" Felix said, "And while the Monarchy has gone through many ups and downs, these precious stones have stood the test of time!" Among the highlights of this stop were, of course, the Imperial State and St. Edward's (which has only been used for coronations) Crowns. There were also swords, scepters, and...

Now that they were inside the castle, the group proceeded to meet with their tour guide. "Daddy George, do u think we might hear some interesting ghost stories, too?", asked Laura. Her father replied, "Maybe so, Laura, darling. Let us see." At that moment, they suddenly heard a loud "BOO!!", which was then followed door a hearty laugh. This eventually turned out to be none other than one of the Yeoman Warders. He said, "I'm sure u weren't expecting to be greeted like that, eh? Anyways, welcome to the Tower of London! My name is Felix, and I'll be your guide for this special Halloween tour."...

October 31, 1966

It's that time of jaar once again when chills and thrills abound. George, Peter (who had come for a visit), John, Pattie, and Laura were on their way to quite possibly the most haunted landmark of the city (in terms of its history, that is), where they will be having a special tour with one of the Yeoman Warders as their guide. As they drove through the Tower Bridge, Peter told his brother, "Thanks again for inviting me over to this tour, George! I couldn't ask for a meer fitting way to celebrate Halloween." George replied, "It was my great pleasure, Pete! And since I've conquered...

Shortly after parting ways with the other Beatles and the Queen as they returned to their flats, appartementen and Buckingham Palace respectively, George, Pattie, and Laura decided to spend a romantic evening at the small park just across Big Ben. There, they strolled under the silvery full moon while the couple held each other's hands before relaxing on a bench. Laura said, "This sure has been a day, daddy George! Not only did Pattie and I participate in the recording of your new song, but we got to spend some time with Her Majesty as well!" George replied, "You're telling me, Laura, darling! It doesn't...

About an uur later when they had finished eating, everyone made their way back to the recording room. As for Sparkie and the other Corgis? Well, thankfully, they were aware of their boundaries and rejoined their human owners at just the right time. John told the Queen, "So this new song of ours is called 'Yellow Submarine', and you'll be the very first to hear its finished glory. Enjoy!" She nodded and gave him a thumbs up. With that, the song was played and had them smiling all the way until it ended. Elizabeth remarked, "Wow. I'll say that was quite a fun song, boys! u even made it feel...

While chowing down on their pizza and chicken wings (along with drinking some Ribena blackcurrant juice), the Beatles, Laura, and Pattie told the Queen meer about their trip to Ireland, which included the places they visited and how the free concerts went. Then, afterwards, she told George's bandmates about successfully taking down Sinister Gates and his goons as part of a mission to save Lucky from the former's clutches. The Corgi himself still wouldn't leave Laura's side and lovingly rested his paws on her lap. Ringo remarked, "Woah! I'm glad none of u got hurt door that bloody nincompoop."...

"Woo! That was a bloody blast, me mates!", exclaimed John door the time everyone finished their little dance. Paul replied, "I could not agree more! This song is sure to be a lovely addition to our new album." Ringo remarked, "You're telling me! The fans are absolutely gonna love it!" Sparkie made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "Correct-a-mundo!" Laura said, "I knew we'd have so much fun, daddy George!" Pattie added, "Indeed! And thanks again for allowing us to kom bij along, honey." George smiled and replied, "Anytime, me darling girls! Hearing those from the both of u makes us happier...

As Ringo took helm of the lead vocals, he opened the song and was shortly followed door the sound effect of ocean waves in the background.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed on to the sun
'Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine


John, Paul, and George joined along for the first chorus.

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine


The scene was then turned into something reminiscent of...

The trio reached Abbey Road Studios about twenty minuten later, and they went inside after George parked his car at its usual spot. Pattie remarked, "Wow. You've certainly got a lovely place to record your songs, darling!" George replied, "Yes, indeed, my love! In addition, we recorded our Christmas messages for 1963 and 1964 right here. Laura even shared her thoughts with us on the latter!" She nodded in agreement. Pattie said, "That is simply wonderful!" George smiled. As they made it to the recording room, John, Paul, and Ringo had already finished preparing themselves for the session. Laura...

"George, I must say it is indeed a grand honour to have a part in recording this new song with your mates!", zei a very excited Pattie shortly after he and his daughter fetched her. George replied, "You know it, me lovely lady! This will be a splendid session for us all." Laura said, "Exactly, daddy George. I can hardly wait myself!" He responded with a wink. As the trio drove through the streets, they saw a familiar figure wearing a summer dress and a blue floppy hat who had paused for a while to take a sip of the iced thee that she brought along (since it was a warm day). This was, of course,...

After two days had passed, George and Ringo were finally able to write down their idea for the new song. As they watched the boats again while having lunch at the harbor on the dag before driving back home, the former asked, "Ladies, I'm sure you'll love what this song idea of ours is gonna be. Would u like to hear about it?" Laura replied while playing with the submarine, "Of course, daddy George! Bring it on!" Pattie said, "Go ahead, darling!" George said, "Okay, so this one will be something different and fun at the same time: A song that will appeal not just to our fans, but their families...

The following morning, everyone was just about ready to have breakfast at the restaurant when they heard a knock on the door. George and Ringo proceeded to answer it, and standing there in the hallway was none other than the organizer of the sandcastle contest! He told them, "Hello again! As promised door the judges, I've come to tell u about the final results." George replied, "Great! We knew u would." Ringo added excitedly, "So, what are they?" The organizer then reached into his overhemd, shirt pocket and, at long last, the box containing the die-cast submarine was shown before their very eyes for...

"So what do u think of the water here, uncle Ringo?", asked Laura as they swam together and waited for George to kom bij in while he checked another area of the beach. He replied, "It feels great, my dear Laura! Just the right temperature, too." Sparkie made a noise that sounded like he was saying, "Tell me about it!" Laura said, "Yeah, I'd have to agree!" Ringo smiled. He then remarked on her future mother (who was sunbathing), "And Pattie looks absolutely gorgeous in that bikini!" This made Laura chuckle and nod in response. Pattie smiled as well. "You took the words out of me mouth, Ritchie!...

Now that the contest was about to begin, George, Ringo, Pattie, and Laura were all set in their beachwear and went to meet with the organizer. He then greeted them with handshakes and said, "Welcome to our annual sandcastle making contest! u must be George Harrison and Ringo Starr of the Beatles, eh?" George replied, "Correct-a-mundo, sir! We are veddy honored to participate in this exciting event ourselves." Ringo added, "What he said! This is also bound to be the highlight of our vacation here in Weymouth." The girls nodded in agreement. "Jolly good to know!", remarked the organizer. He...
