A leather jacket owned by Beatles' star George Harrison could fetch £120,000 when it is sold at auction.

The collection, on sale at Bonhams auctioneers in London, was gifted by George Harrison to his brother Harry and other members of the family.

The jacket is George’s iconic Cavern Club and Hamburg era leather jacket.

He bought it in Hamburg in the 1960's and it was part of his essential on-stage wardrobe between 1960-1962.
