The reveal was met with laughs and a comment of: “It’s John’s john.”
It was one of two bought from 71-acre Tittenhurst Park in Sunninghill, Berks, where Lennon lived with Yoko Ono from 1969 to 1971, and wrote Imagine.

After the couple moved to New York, the country estate was bought by Ringo Starr and then by a sheikh, who sold its contents in 1989.
One toilet bowl was bought for £1,000 by fan Gary Honniball, who has loaned it to The Liverpool Beatles Museum.
The other recently sold for £15,000.
Museum owner Roag Best — brother of the band’s original drummer Pete Best — said: “I think visitors are going to think, ‘That’s really quirky’, or ‘Are these guys mad?’
“But we like to do things outside the box so it fits in perfectly.”
