LONDON — It was 50 years ago today ... that the world's most popular band posed for what became one of rock's most enduring images.
Fans flocked to Abbey Road, north London, on Thursday to recreate the front cover shot of The Beatles' album of the same name, taken on Aug. 8, 1969, outside the famous EMI Recording Studios where each of their albums were made.
LONDON — Boris Johnson, the flamboyant pro-Brexit politician, will become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom.
Johnson was chosen as the leader of the ruling Conservative Party on Tuesday, and will become prime minister on Wednesday.

Friday was supposed to be a historic moment — the day the U.K. was supposed to leave Europe. But chaos has engulfed the process and the final exit date has been postponed. The day instead will see a number of mainly pro-Brexit marches and events in London.
LONDON — Artists have succeeded in doing what British Prime Minister Theresa May has found impossible over the past two-and-a-half years: spell out the impact Brexit will have on millions of Europeans living in the United Kingdom.
Britain's departure from the bloc March 29 will mean an end to an era of free movement for European nationals, who currently are able to live and work in the U.K. with almost no questions asked, and vice versa.
Uncertainty over what the future holds has not only strained many romantic relationships and marriages — but also inspired art.
If you’ve always dreamed of strapping a jet on your back and soaring high into the sky like a superhero or secret agent, listen up. Selfridges, a posh department store in London, is now selling a personal jet pack, or jet suit, that will let a handful of well-heeled customers live out their "Iron Man" fantasies.

A 20-foot-tall inflatable orange baby with the face of President Donald Trump will float over Britain’s parliament next week, one of many acts of protest planned to coincide with Trump's first visit to the U.K. since taking office.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators are expected to march in London, Scotland and elsewhere during his trip, which takes place amid a growing transatlantic trade war and global dismay at the treatment of immigrant families at the U.S. border.
“Moral outrage has no affect on Trump because he has no shame, he’s immune to it. But he has a tremendously fragile ego so ridicule is an effective form of protest," said Leo Murray, the organizer who received permission to fly the helium-filled blimp of Trump as a baby during the visit.
Permission for the blimp came from London Mayor Sadiq Khan's Greater London Authority. Khan is among a series of high-profile British figures to have publicly clashed with Trump over everything from immigration to health care.
The 125-year-old Dulwich Hamlet Football Club’s existence is under threat from a multi-billion-dollar New York property company that wants to knock down its Champion Hill stadium to build apartments.
"Frankly I think they've tried to bully us," says Tom Cullen, one of Dulwich's directors. "This might work in New York property transactions but it's not how you deal with a much-loved, 125-year-old football club."
To understand the situation Dulwich is in, it is first important to know what anyone and everyone involved with the club will tell you:
This team is about so much more than soccer.
The club has gained a hipster cult following partly because of its commitment to social justice off the field. It has raised money and awareness for causes from local homeless charities to Syrian refugees.
As much as it resonates in this local community, stadiums like Dulwich's are worth far more to developers than the clubs could ever generate.
But that won’t stop fans from fighting for it.
"If more clubs were like Dulwich the world would be a better place," Jack Badu, a 28-year-old charity worker, said at a recent game.
