The auction, being held online, has been timed to coincided with today’s celebratory

The auction is supported by Capital FM. Bids are open from 9am today Monday until

Breast Cancer Campaign ably demonstrates the speed which online auctions offer to
charities. Timing the auction with the victory parade at such short notice would
have been almost impossible if it had been a physical event. The Web of course offers
much more flexibility.

The charity is promoting the auction on its front page with a graphic. It also allows
prospective bidders to examine the shirt in more detail with a range of thumbnail
images which, when clicked, expand to offer detailed snapshots of each part of the
shirt.
