The ink on paper drawings and the text which reads: ‘Hi my name is John Lennon/ I’d like you to meet Yoko Ono,’ achieved a great deal of pre-sale interest from Beatles memorabilia aficionados and was bought by a UK private collector. [Lot 140].

“I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong.”John Lennon.
