New unseen images of The Beatles are to be auctioned off.

Omega Auctions salesroom are selling the pictures from late 1967/early 1968. The pictures were taken during a visit to the studios where the animations for their film Yellow Submarine were created.

Yellow Submarine was the tenth album by the Beatles and was issued as the soundtrack to the animated movie of the same name.

The film was directed by George Dunning from an original story by Lee Minoff and cost £250,000 to make. Apart from composing and performing the songs, John, Paul, George and Ringo only took part in the closing scene of the film, while their cartoon characters were voiced by other actors.

The collection of around 150 images, which are to be sold with the copyright, will be auctioned this Friday at Omega Auctions in Stockport and are expected to sell for over £40,000.
