One of the biggest collections of Beatles memorabilia – worth an estimated £1.4m – is being put on show for the first time.

Fab Four nut Alex Worrall has amassed it over several decades and has carefully researched it.

It includes the lyrics to In My Life by John Lennon among hundreds of other items.

“Occasionally, I give talks and have found that people are more interested in the back stories of the memorabilia than the actual artefacts.

“Like why with boredom on a film set, John wrote the homesick song Strawberry Fields Forever.

“I want to tell the stories behind some of the iconic memorabilia.

“In many cases, these artefacts were the catalysts for important chains of events that led to either changes in the law or events that were pivotal in some of the Beatles’ iconic songs or literature.

He said the collection was due to go on show in 2026 in Gibraltar, where John Lennon married Yoko Ono in 1969.

Some of the most important items include artist Salvador Dali’s wedding present to John and Yoko, with a letter inviting John to an exhibition.

It was a signed, limited-edition author’s copy of a book of erotica.

There are unpublished lyrics Paul McCartney wrote for James Bond songwriter Leslie Bricusse

There is a signed plate and drawing John Lennon created on a visit to the artist Andy Warhol’s factory.

There is a signed original film script from How I Won The War, which starred John Lennon.

And also George Harrison’s handwritten lyrics to So Sad.
