An Isle of Wight resident made an interesting discovery after buying a frame in a charity shop.
Jen Edgington shared on Facebook that her husband bought the frame after liking the look of it, only to find a photo inside with an interesting inscription on the back.
The back of the photo read: "John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Jane Fonda, Wootton I.W. 1969", signed by D. White.
John Lennon attended the Isle of Wight Festival in 1969 with bandmates George Harrison and Ringo Starr with their partners Yoko Ono, Pattie Boyd and Maureen Starkey.
Celebrities and fans flocked to Wootton Creek for the festival, which saw Bob Dylan's first scheduled performance in more than three years.

George Harrison greeted Bob Dylan in Portsmouth on August 26 1969, before he travelled to the Island for rehearsals at Forelands Farm in Bembridge.
It is believed that over 150,000 people saw his performance.
Jen discovered that the photographer was the late Dougie White, and she made contact with his nephew, Reg White.
The couple intend to keep the photo, and will treasure their unusual find.
