John Lennon's former girlfriend May Pang has released a collection of intimate snaps of the late Beatle.
Pang began an 18-month fling with Lennon in 1973, during a separation from his wife Yoko Ono.
After keeping the personal pictures under wraps for 35 years, Pang is sharing her photos of life with the "real John Lennon", along with a collection of his private sketches, in her new book 'Instamatic Karma'.
Talking about the pictures Pang said: "They were literally in a shoebox under my bed. A friend of mine said, 'You've got to get this out. People have got to see the John that you saw.'"
She added: "So this is an intimate portrait of our lives together. You're seeing him through my eyes."
