It's the most famous album cover in history - and has now been used to drive home the importance of road safety to children in Honley.
The image of the Beatles on a zebra crossing on the cover of their Abbey Road album has seen fans flock to the road in London for years, and in 2010 the crossing was given grade II listed status for its “cultural and historical importance”.
Now, as part of Road Safety Week, the Kirklees Rural Neighbourhood policing team is visiting schools, and setting up a Baby Beatles photo initiative, with a different slogan each day, based on Beatles songs and lyrics.
The message officers wanted to get across on a visit to Honley Junior School was the use of zebra crossings.
Honley has two, but officers have often seen people crossing between or close to them.
With the children’s help, they recreated the Abbey Road photo, and Pc Sally Baines said: “We are hoping that this week we can encourage people to think safety and use the crossings, and teach their children to do the same.”
Police visited the school for assembly, and two officers dressed up in West Yorkshire Police mascot outfits.
Firefighters in Huddersfield have also launched a safety campaign.
Last year Huddersfield crews were called to 108 collisions on our roads, in which five people died and 86 were injured.
The annual campaign is led by road safety charity Brake, with local rescue crews visiting Huddersfield New College and Kirklees College, as well as supermarkets to remind drivers of their responsibilities on the roads.
Andy Farrell, Kirklees District Commander, said: “The number of road traffic collisions in Kirklees is slowly falling, but sadly our fire crews are still attending far too many.
“Every incident we attend has a profound and lasting effect on those involved, and in some cases results in life-changing injuries and even death.
“We believe many of these incidents could have been avoided, which is why we’re taking part in this vital campaign.”
