There was a plethora of other items auctioned on the night, not listed in the catalogue, as well as other items donated by Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Twiggy, Lulu, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Ben Elton etc, etc but I don’t have a list of them here. I’m also hoping to get a final list of prices to put here as well.

Thank you to everyone who donated items or who bid in the auction. It was a huge success and great fun.
