A shorn lock of John Lennon's hair has fetched £24,000 at auction as part of a sale of Beatles' memorabilia built up by a former hairdresser to the Fab Four.
The hair was sold to an unnamed telephone bidder as the highlight of a sale of the Betty Glasow collection of Beatles and film memorabilia held at Gorringes auction house in Worthing, West Sussex.
Accompanying the lock, which is stuck in a copy of Lennon's 1965 book A Spaniard In The Works, is a hand-written message which reads: "To Betty, lots of love and hair, from John Lennon xx."
