The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has received an array of high value and rare items through its freepost donation service, ranging from World War Two memorabilia, OMEGA watches and designer clothing, to electric guitars and the newest phones, cameras and gaming consoles.

The charity launched its freepost service last June. The items went on to be sold on the charity’s eBay store, helping to raise just under £70,000 in five months.
