Ringo Starr's stage boots are among the items going under the hammer at an auction of Beatles memorabilia.

Money can't buy you love but it can get you some of the 300 Beatles collectibles that are up for sale at the annual auction organised by The Beatles Shop in Liverpool.

Two pairs of Starr's footwear are for sale, including those he sported on stage in 1963.

Beatles Shop owner Ian Wallace said the size 7 black suede boots, estimated to fetch between £4,000 and £5,000, are worn but in good condition.

Money might not be able to buy you love, but it can help you snap up a slice of pop history at a Beatles auction later this month

Two pairs of Starr's footwear are for sale - including those he sported on stage in 1963. The size 7 black suede boots are estimated to fetch between £4,000 - £5,000,

A photo of a young Ringo (pictured front row far left) at St Silas School is estimated to sell for £2500 - £3000

He said: 'The original Beatle boots were leather with a higher heel.

'As the drummer he was having to use pedals for the bass drum and the hi-hat cymbal and what have you, so he couldn't use those boots.

'Instead he wore these suede ones, which were obviously more comfortable.'

The signed John Lennon book from Quarry Bank School, which is set to reach £3,000, was picked up in a charity shop for just 20p by an anonymous buyer who admired the book binding and only spotted the starís signature later

The other lots in the auction include the front door of the home where George Harrison was born, in Arnold Grove, Wavertree, Liverpool, and a rare Jacaranda Club membership card from 1960

The boots were given to a family friend by Starr's mother and stepfather in the 1960s and have been in his possession since then.

Brown Cuban-heeled boots belonging to Starr are expected to sell for £2,500 to £3,000, as is a Japanese-style kimono.

The other lots in the auction include the front door of the home where George Harrison was born, in Arnold Grove, Wavertree, Liverpool, and a rare Cavern Club membership card from 1960.

Fans of the Fab Four also have the chance to get their hands on a school music book signed by John Lennon and old school photos.
