On December 18, 1966, Tara Browne was killed when driving at high speed in his Lotus Elan after it collided with a parked lorry in South Kensington, London. A close friend of The Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, his death was immortalized in The Beatles’s song ‘A Day In The Life’ after John Lennon read a report on the coroner's verdict into Browne's death.

Tara Browne and Suki Potier

March 4, 1945 – December 18, 1966

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords

'65 was a great year and a fantastic decade, the year I hit my big 20. Plus, hearing The Beatles Christmas Record made it even better.

Just watched a great programme on Butlins ( British holiday camps ) and they told of all the acts that started out there, like Cliff Richard. They mentioned that Ringo Starr played in a band there and the guy said Ringo went to take a Phoenix call and when he came back he said I am going to join a band called The Beatles, the guy said he knew The Beatles we're going to make it. What a great story:)
