A pair of John Lennon's glasses are expected to fetch up to AED 14,000 when they go up for auction in the UK on July 31.

The round blue-tinted glasses were given to a gentleman, who was visiting Abbey Road Studios in 1968, by the Beatles star.

The man had spotted the glasses on a piano and reached to pick them up before his girlfriend told him to "leave them", to which Lennon replied, "it's ok, he can have them."

Other Beatles memorabilia is also going under the hammer at the auction, including a collection of 33 black and white photographs of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, George Martin and Ringo Starr, taken at Abbey Road.
