The Beatles played their final show in Canada on August 17, 1966 in Toronto. Just 12 days later, the band would announce they would no longer be touring together. 

Candy asked you, the listeners, to get in touch if you were among those lucky people who got to hear the band at the Maple Leaf Gardens in what turned out to be one of their last shows ever.

Linda Skeries and Elle Janish were among those who also wrote to us and they shared their memories of the day.
