Items up for grabs included the Blur star's drumsticks, art by Pete Doherty and Russell Brand's trousers. | |
The aim is to raise £100,000 for mobile health clinics to help Syrian refugees and host Jordanians in need. | The aim is to raise £100,000 for mobile health clinics to help Syrian refugees and host Jordanians in need. |
Rowntree collected more than 1,000 items for the Star Boot Sale in Brick Lane, with some items available to bid for online in an auction that will remain open for a week. | |
He said: "It was really good, we had lots of fun and everyone was smiling. | |
"The most popular things were the knick-knacks from the celebrities, people were falling over each other for them." | |
Some of the items, such as books, started from £1 while a gramophone donated by Coldplay has already attracted an online bid of £2,000. | |
Model Sophie Dahl gave clothing including a faux-fur Nicole Fahri jacket and a black Balmain jumper and Sir Bradley Wiggins donated a cycling shirt. | |
The refugee charity International Rescue Committee estimates there are more than 650,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, of whom as many as 80% live in urban areas rather than in refugee camps. | The refugee charity International Rescue Committee estimates there are more than 650,000 Syrian refugees in Jordan, of whom as many as 80% live in urban areas rather than in refugee camps. |
