"After all we did for Great Britain, selling all that corduroy and making it swing, they gave us that bloody old leather medal with wooden string through it. But my initial reaction was, 'Oh, how nice, how nice.' And John's was, 'How nice, how nice.” --George on receiving their MBE medals.

Leather medal with wooden string?

Did he really say that?? The MBE has no leather and no wood.

All the Beatles received the medal in 1965, which entitled them to a payment of forty pounds a year and free admission to the Whispering Gallery at St. Paul’s Cathedral (ordinarily about a shilling). The Beatles were somewhat mystified as to why the Queen was honoring them, but generally cheerful about the notion. As Ringo Starr put it, “We’re going to meet the Queen and she’s going to give us a badge. I thought, ‘This is cool.'”

The Beatles’ parents were pleased; the group largely forgot about their medals, although Harrison and Paul McCartney later used theirs as jacket decorations at the Sgt. Pepper photo shoot. Lennon gave his to his beloved Aunt Mimi, who hung it over her mantelpiece.

“Lots of people who complained about us getting the M.B.E. received theirs for heroism in the war,” said John, “They got them for killing people. We got ours for entertaining. I’d say we deserve ours more.” - John Lennon
