STORY: Among the highlights of the May 30 "Entertainment & Memorabilia Premier Live Auction" is a letter Diana wrote in January 1996 - a month before confirming she was divorcing Britain's then Prince Charles - thanking her friend Roger Bramble for taking her to lunch at London restaurant Bibendum.
The letter, written on Kensington Palace headed paper, has a price estimate of 800 - 1,200 pounds.
A portrait of Lennon, attributed to original Beatles bass guitarist and artist Stuart Sutcliffe, has a price tag of 3,000 - 5,000 pounds.
It was gifted in 1968 to the vendor's father, who worked for Cave Photographics Studios - which provided photographic equipment to the Beatles, Ewbank said.
Other lots include a letter written by the "Dambusters" 617 squadron member Edward Johnston on the back of a letter he received (300 - 500 pounds), artwork for horror movies "Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell" (2,000 - 4,000 pounds) and "Frankenstein Created Woman" (3,000 - 5,000 pounds), as well as Le Cercle Casino plaques from "Dr. No" (1,400 - 1,800 pounds).
