A fez previously owned by comedian and magician Tommy Cooper has fetched £7,000 at auction in Bedfordshire.
The item had been valued at under half that amount at £3000.
The hat was one of a number of Cooper memorabilia items that went under the hammer at The Woburn.
Speaking before the auction, Amanda Butler, Operations Director of Hanson Ross, said:
“Tommy Cooper was an icon. His humour was timeless, and his ‘mistake’ magic inspired generations of comedians and magicians. It feels incredibly fitting that his personal items will now support two causes rooted in his greatest gift—laughter.
"Not only will the money raised help train laughter yoga leaders, but our donation will also allow the carers at Julia’s House to use laughter therapy in their incredible work.”
