Original Toronto Star caption: It was a hard days' night at the Gardens. At Maple Leaf Gardens and at the airport Beatle fans wait, patiently and otherwise, to welcome their idols. For policemen and a policewoman handling the crowds the theme song was I Wanna Hold Your Hand as they grip arms to form a human chain and keep back exuberant crowds on the streets around the gardens.
