Each of The Beatles was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) on June 12, 1965, for import revenues generated by their record sales.

John Lennon returned his MBE medal on November 25, 1969, as a protest against Britain's support of Nigeria against Biafra, their support of America in the Vietnam War, and "against 'Cold Turkey' (his latest single) slipping down the charts".
