Antiques Roadshow has been on the BBC for more than 40 years.
In that time, viewers have watched as people from near and far bringing their most prized possessions to be valuated by experts.
A guitar created quite a commotion when it was brought to a roadshow in 2019. Not just any guitar, the musical piece was once owned by John Lennon and George Harrison.
The prototype fretless guitar from the 1960s was owned by a musician who had been gifted it after impressing the two rockers with his skills. Expert Jon Baddeley decided that the instrument was the real deal after seeing it on a photograph, showing it in George's collection. The expert hailed the piece "by far the most expensive thing" he'd seen in his 25 years on the show. After the show, the guitar sold for £190,000.
