A single string from the guitar Paul McCartney used to record the Beatles album "Rubber Soul" has sold for £2,000.

The guitar string was a prize in a competition held by the Beatles Book fan club magazine in February 1966.

It was won by fan David Cardey, who kept it for 45 years, along with two letters sent by the editor of the Beatles book, Johnny Dean.

The first letter - dated February 14, 1966 - enclosed a one guinea prize and a promise of a piece of Beatles equipment to follow.

The second letter sent three says later enclosed the guitar string and stated: 'This guitar string came from Paul's acoustic Epiphone and was given to me by him after the Beatles last recording session.
