John Lennon's iconic round glasses and divorce papers from his former late wife Cynthia are all set to ho under the hammer, it has been revealed.

The Beatles legend's trademark glasses are expected to fetch upwards of 10,000 pounds, whereas, divorce documents could also fetch a similar amount, the Mirror reported.

Auctioneer Paul Fairweather, said that the nice thing about the items were that they also come with a really strong story.

Lennon gave the glasses to his housekeeper's brother for a fancy dress outfit while the legal notes document Yoko Ono's part in his marriage break-up.

The two pieces of musical history are being sold in auction on May 19 by Omega Auctions, who once sold Lennon's tooth for 23,000 pounds.
