Sir Bob Geldof’s autographed guitar is one of many items to go under the hammer this weekend to raise money for refugees.

The Live Aid star, who lives in Davington, donated the instrument to the Faversham and Villages Refugee Solidarity Group, which is hosting the auction on Saturday night.

The Auction of Promises is in aid of a number of charities working alongside refugees across the world.
