Queen Elizabeth’s jubilee artefacts to go under the hammer

• Six ceremonial artefacts used during Queen Elizabeth II's jubilee celebrations are to be auctioned, with all proceeds benefiting Cancer Research UK.
• The collection includes the Diamond Jubilee “diamond'”, the millennium torch, the 90th birthday torch, a Golden Jubilee torch and the Platinum Jubilee Commonwealth Nations Globe.
• These items are from the personal collection of Bruno Peek, who served as the late monarch's pageant master for 40 years.
• Mr Peek stated his decision to sell the items for charity was influenced by King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales, both undergoing cancer treatment.
• The virtual auction at Bonhams in March is expected to see each item fetch an estimated £20,000 to £30,000.
