On June 3, 2002, something really special happened at Buckingham Palace in England. It was called the “Party at the Palace,” a big event to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II being queen for 50 years. Some of the most famous musicians in the world came together to sing a super popular song called “All You Need Is Love” by The Beatles. The singers and players included Brian May, Paul McCartney, Roger Taylor, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, and more. They all joined forces to make an amazing performance.
This song was extra meaningful because it was a way to remember John Lennon, who wrote it, and other music stars who had passed away, like George Harrison and Freddie Mercury. A long time ago, on June 25, 1967, “All You Need Is Love” was sung live on TV for the first time during a show called “Our World.” That day, over 400 million people in 25 countries watched it on their screens, making it the first song ever performed live around the world like that.
The 2002 performance was a happy, powerful moment that showed how much people still love this song and the musicians who made it famous. It was a big thank-you to the Queen and a celebration of great music!
