:14:21. > :14:24.he returned his MBE. We estimate it can sell
:14:25. > :14:27.upwards of ?60,000. All we can assume is that John wrote
:14:28. > :14:31.this letter to the Queen and, because of the smudges,
:14:32. > :14:34.that he redid the letter and then You know, it's really

:15:05. > :15:08.Do you want to buy it? These are pictures
:15:09. > :15:19.that I had with Ringo when he was with Rory Storm.
:15:20. > :15:21.Wow, so they're early? With the condition, I'd probably
