Penny Lane

The Horses
Just over half way into the video the Beatles appear riding horses. For some reason (possibly because it would have been too blatant like the black carnation in MMT) Paul is not riding the black horse. However, it looks like that he's riding the palest of the three white horses. Which other foursome are famous horsemen? Yup, the four horsemen of the Apocolypse. Not only that, but the member who rode on the palest horse was Death ("The pale horse of Death"). Could this be why Paul is riding on the palest horse?
 
Right Handed?
When the group sits down at the table what appear to be servants appear and the guys their instruments. If you watch Paul closely when he's handed his guitar he seems to instinctively take the neck in his left hand and start to tilt the guitar down with the neck facing to his left. This is how you would take a guitar if you were right handed, let Paul is supposed to be a full on leftie. Why, then, is Paul initially taking the bass as if he were right handed? It seems that he soon realises his mistake and awkwardly transfers the neck to his right hand before settling it down in his lap how a leftie would hold it.
