Imagine you had £10,000 to spare...
you could use it to bid for a rare jacket that once belonged to Beatles star John Lennon.
Dating from the late 1960s, the teal blue jacket, owned and worn by the influential musician, is to be sold at auction.
It was once the property of Jo Jo Johns, personal assistant to the Beatles, who worked at the group's offices at 3 Savile Row in central London from 1968 to 1975.
One of her jobs was to clear out Lennon's house after his 1971 move to America.
Lennon lived at Tittenhurst Park, Berkshire, from 1969 until August 1971, when he set off for America.
Tittenhurst was the place where he penned his hit song Imagine in the White Room.
In the early 1970s she gave the jacket, as part of a birthday present, to her friend Anthony Goddard, who lives in Leicestershire.
It is being sold by Derbyshire auctioneers Hansons, who said it is entirely resonant of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album released in 1967.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
