So to commemorate their success in the US, the New York Port Agency are going to unveil a historical marker at the location the band first arrived on American soil- JFK International Airport. Rolling Stone reports, the maker will be unveiled in a ceremony at JFK’s Central Terminal Area, which is the same place The Beatles gave their first US press conference.

This latest tribute is the latest to join a long list of upcoming events to celebrate The Beatles 50th anniversary of their celebrated appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, which is responsible for introducing the band to the stateside audience.
