Comedian Stephen Merchant's childhood Star Wars toys have been sold for more than £5,000 to help raise money for a local school.
Actor Stephen, 50, was born in Hanham in Bristol and went on to co-write The Office and Extras with Ricky Gervais.
Star Wars fans had the opportunity to purchase his childhood toys - with the funds going to a worthy cause.
More than 30 lots of action figures and playsets went under the hammer at Auctioneum Ltd in Bristol on May 19.
His Star Wars Collection was estimated to sell for between £300 and £500 but it fetched over £5,000.
All of the funds raised from the sale of Stephen’s childhood toys are being donated to Ashton Park School where his niece and nephew attend.
They are raising funds to build a new outdoor covered space for lessons, activities and events.
