ERIC Clapton, Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue are helping to raise funds for the region's women's cancer unit at Warrington Hospital.

Signed photos of these stars and a Jonny Wilkinson signed and framed photograph of that winning kick are just some of countless items in a charity auction.

Organiser Steve McConnell, said: "Thanks to the support by Sporting Icons of Chester, we have a vast array of memorabilia on offer."

The hammer comes down at a gala dinner on Friday, May 7, at The Hanover International Hotel, Stretton.

Tickets priced £30, include a four course dinner, live music and fun money casino.

A week's family holiday in the south of France is one of the top raffle prizes.
