Guitars belonging to Ed Sheeran and Van Morrison are set to go under the hammer to support the next generation of Northern Ireland's sports stars.
They are among the lots to be auctioned both online and at the Mary Peters Trust's annual Sport Inspires festive lunch this year.
The trust, set up by Mary Peters after her gold medal win at the 1972 Olympics, supports young people in the pursuit of their sporting dreams.
Van Morrison's guitar has been pre-signed by the music star.
Ed Sheeran is to autograph his Lowden guitar - made in Co Down - with a personal message to the ultimate owner post-auction.
Also going under the auctioneer's gavel will be artworks by Lisburn's Neil Shawcross and James Bond actress Jane Seymour, also famous for the American Western series Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman.
Mary Peters thanked all for their generosity.
"It's early stages and plans are still being created, so expect a sprinkling of surprises on Friday November 21," she said.
"I'd like to thank Ed Sheeran and Van Morrison for their huge generosity and, of course, my friend and artist, Neil Shawcross, and Jane Seymour who, in addition to her high-profile acting credits, is now an accomplished and highly respected watercolourist.
"The trust also greatly appreciates the work our fellow board director Julie Hastings did to secure such a beautiful Jane Seymour floral composition and a coveted, signed, Van Morrison guitar."
The fundraiser will look forward to next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics as well as paying tribute to the achievements of local athletes across five decades since the trust's inception in 1975.
