Lennon's toilet sold

14:31 pm on 29 August 2010

John Lennon's toilet has sold for nearly 10 times its expected price at auction in Liverpool.

The porcelain lavatory was from Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire where Lennon lived between 1969 - 1972.

It was expected to sell for about £1000 but an overseas investor paid £9500 ($19,700) for it at the 33rd annual Beatles Convention in Liverpool on Saturday.
