Default Sergeant Pepper badges

Spent the day in my home town and visited for the first time The Beatles Story at The Albert Dock, one thing that caught my eye were what were described as
exact copies of the uniforms worn by the Beatles for the Sergeant Pepper album.

I dont know if the uniforms on display are exact copies of the originals in every way but I was interested to see some British Army NCO`s rank badges on two of the tunics and a Canadian badge on another.

Amazing what you come across on your travels.

P.B.

Hi Peter
I think the Canadaian one is Ontario Provincial Police , my nephew served with them for a short while now he’s in a different region, as you say interesting though.
