"John Lennon is an icon of the 20th century. Now reached the 21st century. He's one of the most famous people of the 20th century and probably one of the most important musicians of all time. So I think that opportunity alone- a lyric or an award or something directly to do with Lennon that's important is obviously something that collectors want. They want to be able to handle that piece that he had that was so important to him."

There's quite a lot of key pieces in the sale."

"He's one of the most famous people of the 20th century and probably one of the most important musicians of all time," says Stephanie Connell, Head of Entertainment at Bonhams."So I think that opportunity alone - a lyric or an award or something directly to do with Lennon that's important is obviously something that collectors want.

The handwritten lyrics for "I'm Only Sleeping" are estimated to fetch �250,000-350,000.
"They're one of the highlight key pieces in the sale, but we have quite a wide selection of Lennon-related items in the sale including, Ivor Novello awards, a letter from Lennon and various other Lennon-related pieces. There's quite a lot of key pieces in the sale," explains Stephanie Connell.
A table from Lennon's Surrey home of Kenwood, at which Lennon wrote these lyrics is estimated to sell for �10,000-15,000. During the 1960s the table was kept in a downstairs room in the house where John would frequently compose.
