John Lennon's glasses and detention sheet go up for sale in new Beatles auction

A pair of John Lennon‘s glasses and a detention sheet from when the late Beatle was in school have gone up for auction.

The auction marks 50 years since the legendary band broke up. The items trace the rise of The Beatles from mischievous lads from Liverpool to international superstars.

Lennon’s famous round Windsor glasses, a gift to his housekeeper, which are thought to predate his first public outing of the eyewear, are expected to fetch anywhere between £30,000 – £40,000.

His detention sheet, from Quarry Bank Grammar School in the 1950s, lists Lennon’s 22 detentions in under eight weeks.

Comments from teachers in the book criticise Lennon’s “complete idleness and “continuous silly behaviour in class.”

The report card is estimated to be worth between £3,000 – £5,000.
