The online auction officially launched on Saturday, with the charity giving fans the chance to look and touch the lots at its Martlesham Retail Centre, in Suffolk.

The event attracted more than 600 people, which is nearly double its normal footfall for a Saturday.

Keri-Ann Plaskett, whose parents were given "a really good quality of life" by the hospice before their deaths, attended the event with her children.

She told the BBC: "I think it is really kind of Ed and when he has done it before it has raised lots of money.

"I brought my children to see the items and I told them it would be cheaper than going to his concert at Portman Road.

"You wouldn't be able to see or touch his clothes otherwise, so I thought it was nice for them - it's a treat."
