The books John Lennon doodled in while at school are a part of tour giving fans a rare glimpse into the Beatle's early years.
The John Lennon School Tour takes fans through the corridors of Calderstones School, Liverpool, which was formerly Quarry Bank High School, where the star attended between 1952 and 1957.
People are given the chance to see the halls, classrooms, and the assembly stage where Lennon first performed with The Quarry Men, a band which laid the foundations for what would become The Beatles.
The tour's founder, teacher Tom Barry, told BBC Radio Merseyside people will get to see Lennon's school books and his original desk.
