This could be your chance to get your hands on costumes worn by stars such as Britney Spears, Cher and Prince. Or perhaps you're more interested in gold and platinum Beatles records. There are also a number of exciting pieces from the big screen such as a jacket from Forrest Gump, signed by Tom Hanks.

Also up for auction is Henry McCullough’s 1968 Gibson Gold Top Les Paul.  This guitar has played with the greats including Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix and The Who as Henry is regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of this last half-century.  Henry even appeared at Woodstock with his trusty Les Paul to accompany Joe Cocker on ‘With a Little Help From My Friends’.   Sadly in 2012 Henry suffered a huge heart attack, which left him severely disabled and no longer able to play guitar. He is selling his treasured Les Paul to help fund a new purpose-built home.  The estimate on this unique piece of rock memorabilia is £100,000 - £150,000.
