Beatle John Lennon school detention sheets put up for sale [View all]

Detention sheets describing Beatle John Lennon's schoolboy misdemeanours are being put up for sale.

Teachers from Liverpool's Quarry Bank High School for Boys wrote that 15-year-old Lennon was punished for "fighting in class" and "sabotage".

The two documents from 1955 were rescued by a teacher in the 1970s who had been told to burn all of the books in a storage room at the school.

The sheets are expected to be sold for up to £3,000 each at auction.
