A notebook containing some of the last penned words of Jim Morrison - who died 35 years ago yesterday - is expected to fetch £100,000 at auction later this month.

The book, containing 20 pages of thoughts, lyrics and poems, was kept by The Doors frontman during his final days. It is being sold at Cooper Owen's Music Legends in Abbey Road Studios, London.

Morrison left the noteback at a recording studio just days before he was found dead in the bath at his Paris flat on July 3, 1971. The 27-year-old was found to have died of heart failure.
