John Lennon apologises for assaulting Bob Wooler

12.00pm, Thursday 20 June 1963 (48 years ago)

Two days after he assaulted Cavern Club DJ Bob Wooler for insinuating he had had an affair with Brian Epstein, John Lennon sent a telegram to apologise.

The incident took place at Paul McCartney's 21st birthday party on 18 June 1963.

The telegram was sent on Epstein's orders, and read: "Really sorry Bob. Terribly worried to realise what I had done. What more can I say?"
