As far as I know, they all kept them, except for John, who sent his back as a protest against the Vietnam War (and because cold turkey slipped in the chart lol)
The Beatles- this meant Member of the order of the British Empire- and is not the same as Knight status- much much later, we do have Sir Paul Mcartney- the MBE awards and documents were returned to the British Crown by the Beatles- while they were still intact.
They didn't. They performed at the 1963 Royal Variety Show, but the Queen was not in attendance; she was pregnant with Prince Edward at the time. The Beatles met her in 1965, when they were given their MBE medals, but did not play any music.
The BeaTles.
The Beatles.
No, it was the name of a Beatles song, but not an album.
In June 1965, Queen Elizabeth II appointed the Beatles Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) after Prime Minister Harold Wilson nominated them for the award. The action caused a stir because MBEs were usually presented to military veterans and civic leaders. Some MBE recipients returned their medals in protest. Four years later, on November 25, 1969, John Lennon returned his own MBE to protest the British government's support of the United States' presence in the Vietnam war.
An early 20 century MBE Medal (Civilian) that is hallmarked could fetch 100GBP. Medals are similar to Coins in worth, in that they are only worth what some one is willing to pay for them !!Cheers, Worldlycollectables. MBE MEDAL (CIVILIAN)
