George Harrison's guitar has been sold at auction

A guitar bought by the late George Harrison for £58 has sold for over £1 million at auction.

The late Beatles star's mother paid for the Resonet Futurama instrument in 1959 when he was a 16-year-old apprentice electrician, and he played the instrument at more than 320 Beatles gigs over the years and it has now gone under the hammer for $1.27million (£1.01million).
