John Lennon's original handwritten lyrics for 'Give Peace A Chance' will go up for auction at Christie's on 10 Jul and are expected to fetch between £200,000 and £300,000.
The lyrics are being sold by comedy writer and presenter Gail Renard. According to Christie's, as teenagers Renard and a friend snuck into the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, where Lennon and Yoko Ono were staging their famous 'bed-in' and managed to meet the famous couple. While there, Lennon gave Renard some mementos, including the lyrics, and told her "One day they will be worth something". It seems he was right.
