As has been their custom since arriving in Cuba on Sunday - the first official visit to the island by members of the British royal family - the couple greeted in a friendly manner everyone they encountered, local residents and curious passersby, on their tour.
Charles, wearing a cream-coloured suit and a striped tie, and the Duchess of Cornwall, in a light green dress and protecting herself from the intense sun with her ever-present white parasol, arrived at the park driving a 1953 MG convertible owned by one of the club members.
Refusing to take refuge from the sun and the high temperature, the Prince of Wales and his wife took the time to chat with each of the vehicle owners of more than 40 cars and motorcycles who had gathered in the park dedicated to Lennon, for whom Cubans feel a special affinity.
Charles had learned of Cubans' love for British rock and roll and was pleasantly surprised when he learned that the Yellow Submarine club - located at one of the park's corners - is dedicated to rock music of the 1960s, '70s and '80s.
The royal couple stopped to listen to a local band, who after playing some Beatles numbers, closed their performance with the iconic Satisfaction, by The Rolling Stones, who three years ago performed for the first time in Cuba before more than one million fans.
The heir to the British crown and his wife also humoured the press and - with smiles on their faces - sat down on a bench which also features a bronze statue of Lennon, providing a must-take photo for everyone who was on hand.
The sculpture is accompanied by a Spanish translation of a line from Lennon's song Imagine - "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."
Though Fidel Castro banned Beatles music from Cuba during the Fab Four's heyday in the mid-1960s, he came to admire Lennon's anti-war and pro-working class politics and was present for the inauguration of the park in 2002.
