Items including ballet shoes worn by the Spiderman actor in Billy Elliot the Musical and signed trainers from the former One Direction singer are among the items on offer in The Big Lily Bid auction, in aid of The Lily Foundation, based in Warlingham.

The foundation, which supports families affected by mitochondrial disease, was set up by Liz Curtis in memory of her daughter, Lily, who died aged eight months.

The online auction is available on the charity's website and closes at 21:00 BST on Wednesday.

Other items in the auction include meet and greet tickets for Peter Kay's UK tour and signed football shirts from Frank Lampard and Paulo Di Canio, among others.

Mitochondrial disease is a term used to describe conditions caused by faulty mitochondria and can affect different parts of the body including the brain, heart and liver.

There is currently no cure for the disease.

The Lily Foundation has raised £10.7m and supported more than 1300 families since it was set up.
