£350,000 to give peace a chance

£350,000, thats what has been paid for John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for 'Give Peace A Chance' at a rock memorabilia auction.

John Lennon wrote the lyrics on a piece of paper in a hotel suite in Montreal during Lennon and Yoko Ono's historic Bed-In for Peace in 1969.

The framed lyrics where sold by Gail Renard who was in John Lennon's company when he wrote the lyrics.

Reading the lyrics makes the whole thing a bit ironic as a piece of paper is sold for that amount of money.

At the same auction another Beatles memorabilia was sold at a record price. A drumskin used by the Fab Four on the front cover of their 1967 album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, fetched £450,000.

I geuss The Beatles still stand for big money!
