Lennon's suit goes up for auction

The white suit John Lennon wore on the Abbey Road cover is going up for online auction next month, expected to raise around £80,000, with proceeds partly going to Amnesty International.

A white suit which was worn by John Lennon on the iconic image on the cover of 'Abbey Road' is to be sold by a US auction house in an online sale next month and is expected to raise in the region of £80k. Also going up for sale is a customised hearse with which was owned by Lennon and appeared in 1973 documentary 'Imagine'.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale, which ends on 29 Oct, will go to Amnesty International, which is nice. Non-Lennon related items to be sold in the same time include Marilyn Monroe's 1961 appointment book and Elizabeth Taylor's 'Cleopatra' headdress.
