Ambleside Oxfam shop left 500 teddy bears in will

A charity shop in the Lake District is hoping the donation of more than 500 teddy bears in a woman's will will raise thousands of pounds.

The woman bequeathed her possession to Oxfam in Ambleside in her will and volunteers said they were delighted to find more than 500 expensive teddies, some Steiff made, piled up in every room of her home.

Some are said to have a price tag of more than £100.
