The biggest sale of Lennon memorabilia for 20 years took place yesterday at the Cooper Owen auction in London. 12 items were presented at auction, among them a military-style tunic worn by Lennon that inspired the Beatles' famous «Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band» record cover. The tunic worn by John Lennon in a Life magazine photo shoot in 1966 had been estimated at GBP30,000 but fetched GBP100,000 ($175,000).

Handwritten manuscript of the song «All You Need Is Love» used by Lennon during a television performance in 1967 was sold for GBP600,000 ($1.04 million). A piano from Lennon's New York apartment brought GBP140,000 ($246,000), and a pair of his trademark glasses went for GBP55,000 ($96,000).
