Bloodstained glasses....


A photograph of John Lennon's bloodstained glasses has sold for almost £9,000 at a London auction.
The photograph, taken by Lennon's widow Yoko Ono and one of only six prints in existence, sold for £8,813.
It was put up for auction at Bonhams in London on 17th April 2002.
Lennon was killed outside his New York apartment by obsessed fan Mark Chapman in 1980.
The photo shows the singer's famous round spectacles next to a glass of water and on a table set against the window of the couple's apartment overlooking Manhattan.
The print up for auction is owned by Johnnie Walker, a fund-raiser for Artist Residencies of Tokyo, or ART.
