George Harrison in 1962 has been sold.The crust of the bread left over by the late Beatles legend was saved by a fan named Sue Houghton, who was 15-years-old at the time.

According to the Daily Express, she preserved the bread on a scrapbook page alongside the caption: “Piece of George’s breakfast 2-8-63.”The date noted indicates that the bread was from around the time that the Fab Four made their return to Liverpool after seven weeks of touring.As reported by the New York Post, the fan had taken the remains from Harrison’s plate after befriending his family and making a visit to their home.

Her scrapbook also contained other memorabilia from Harrison, including fluff from under his bed and thread from his jeans.The bread was originally sold in 1992 when Houghton auctioned off her scrapbook for $1,600 (£1,265) to fund home repairs.

Now it has been reported that the leftover piece of bread has changed hands again.It has been bought by memorabilia collector Joseph O’Donnell, although the price he paid has not been publicly disclosed.
