The Beatles - Give peace a chance john lennon

Although I'm not one to criticize the prospect of someone spending £300,000 to own Lennon's indelible image of possible peace, it's still an incredible amount of money to pay for poetry.

John Lennon's lyrics for Give Peace a Chance are to go under the hammer at a London auction.

The lyrics were handed to comedy writer Gail Renard, who was then 16, at Lennon and Yoko Ono's Montreal "bed-in" in 1969, along with other mementoes.

The collection, including photos which have never been seen in public before, is expected to fetch up to £300,000.

Christie's will sell the collection at a rock and pop memorabilia auction on 10 July.
