That previously reported auction of John Lennon memorabilia to be held at the London Hippdrome goes ahead today. Items worth up to an estimated £1.1million are up for sale, and they include the tunic that inspired the 'Sgt Pepper's' album cover, expected to sell for around £30k and a handwritten manuscript of All You Need Is Love, which is expected to fetch £500k. There's also a pair of distinctive Lennon specs, an Ivor Novello Award and other-Beatle related items, such as George Harrisons 12 string guitar and a Rupert Bear book that once belonged to Paul McCartney. The auction will also see a Sex Pistols drum kit and a rare left-handed Jimi Hendrix guitar up for sale.
