Ed Sheeran and Van Morrison guitars to go under hammer for sports stars
Sir Van's guitar has been pre-signed by the music star whilst Sheeran is to autograph his Lowden guitar with a personal message to the ultimate owner post auction.
Also going under the auctioneer's gavel will be artworks by Lisburn's Neil Shawcross and James Bond actress Jane Seymour, also famous for American Western series Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman.
Lady Peters thanked all for their generosity.
'It's early stages and plans are still being created, so expect a sprinkling of surprises on Friday November 21,' she said.
'It's a fantastic lunch and afternoon out for businesses, sporting organisations and individuals alike to help get the festive season well underway and it raises much needed monies for the trust.
'I'd like to thank Ed Sheeran and Van Morrison for their huge generosity and, of course, my friend and artist, Neil Shawcross, and Jane Seymour who, in addition to her high-profile acting credits, is now an accomplished and highly respected watercolourist.
'The trust also greatly appreciates the work our fellow board director, Julie Hastings, did to secure such a beautiful Jane Seymour floral composition and a coveted, signed, Van Morrison guitar.'
The fundraiser will look forward to next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the 2028 LA Olympics as well as paying tribute to the achievements of local athletes across five decades since the trust's inception in 1975.

Adam Peaty's three-word claim about what Gordon Ramsay did after he dated his daughter
While Gordon Ramsay is known for his skills in the kitchen and his razor sharp tongue, he actually helped Team GB swimmer Adam Peaty get his career back on track after a battle with depression Adam Peaty claimed that Gordon Ramsay helped pull him out of the "deep, dark hole" of depression after he began dating the celebrity chef's daughter. A three-time Olympic gold-medallist with Team GB, Peaty, who was in action this time last year in Paris, has enjoyed an incredible career in swimming over the years. The 30-year-old first tasted Olympic glory at the 2016 Games in Rio, clinching gold in the 100m breaststroke and silver in the 4 x 100m medley, before shining incredibly bright at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. He left Japan with gold medals in the 100m breaststroke and the 4 x 100m mixed medley, as well as another silver in the 4 x 100m medley. Meanwhile, Peaty was also in fine form at last year's Games in Paris, securing silver in the 100m breaststroke and only beaten by Italy's Nicolo Martinenghi. However, life away from the lanes hasn't always been smooth sailing for Peaty, who fell into a spiral of depression and alcoholism when his eight-year unbeaten run came to an end at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. At the same time, he also separated from the mother of his son. The swimming legend described what ensued as "three years of hell" before he finally got his career back on track when he started dating Holly Ramsay, the daughter of TV chef Gordon. The two first met when Holly's sister, Tilly, competed alongside him on the 2021 edition of Strictly Come Dancing, with a romance between Adam and Holly blossoming two years later. And Peaty revealed how Gordon played a major part in motivating his career resurgence, transforming him from a party-goer to a focused and disciplined Olympic titan once more. Peaty told The Sunday Times last April: "He [Ramsay] is an incredible energy to be around and an incredible person to have that guidance from. "Gordon is a high performer. He worked his way up to the upper echelons of his industry and works in a place where there's no bull****. I take a lot from that and from the professionalism he has every single day with a relentless pursuit. "So, when I see that, I'm like, 'Yeah, why can't I work like this? Why can't I do this every single day? Why do I have to be so emotionally engaged with things?'" Adam and Holly reconnected and began dating in May 2023, before going public with their relationship just a month later. They then unveiled matching tattoo tributes to one another in December and announced their engagement in September with a heartfelt Instagram post. Taking to social media, Holly wrote: "I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. I still remember how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you. "Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you & I cannot wait to be your wife. I promise to always be there with you and George, I'm so grateful to be in his life and I cannot wait for more. "Everything is better with you. Everything has been better since you. Here's to forever. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13." Peaty also appears to have a good relationship with his future father-in-law, particularly seeing the funny side as Gordon aimed a famous barb at him during a conversation ahead of Paris 2024. Ramsay was quizzing Peaty on his post-Olympic plans, before the Team GB ace replied: "Who knows? You're smiling, I'm not going to give you the pleasure. I'm not going to do it. You're trapping me." To which Gordon said in trademark fashion: "You're full of s***! You are definitely not retiring. Absolutely, definitely not retiring," adding: "Very best of luck. Don't f*** this up."

I tried Heathrow's £3,177 VIP terminal — how the other half fly
You know how airports have lounges – pay as you go, business class, first class and even those that go one tier above? But did you know there's a level even higher, so elite they don't call it a lounge, they call it a suite? That's where I'm writing this from. I'd heard that Heathrow Airport had reopened their Windsor Suite – used by the likes of the Beckhams and Prince Harry – after a major upgrade. Up until 2008, only diplomats and royals could use the service, but it was expanded ahead of the London 2012 Olympics. And, when I was invited to test it out, I thought I'd never live it down if I didn't take my family along with me. The first excitement came when our chauffeur pulled up at an entrance far from the normal drop-off zone and said 'I've got four VIPs' over the intercom. My four-year-old son still refers to himself as a VIP. I then gave my husband – who told me off for not telling him to dress a bit smarter – a quick briefing on what to expect: 'Give them our passports, and don't worry about the bags'. Immigration, bag-drop, check-in and security were going to be done as discreetly as possible; all we had to worry about was what we wanted from Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton's a la carte menu. There are eight suites at the terminal, but our very own waiting area was the Mayfair Lounge, one of the largest private rooms on offer. We had comfortable seating, a dining area, private bathroom, and – our children's favourite feature – a button that summoned staff in seconds. We weren't in the market, but if you're interested in high-end shopping, a private shopper will appear in a flash to guide you through the best Hermes and Louis Vuitton have to offer. Initially, I was worried that the bell would become irritating, but the staff seemed to love having the children around. In fact, they even took them for a 'backstage tour' of the kitchens and security so my husband and I could enjoy a glass of wine in peace. Once I'd polished off my rigatoni and a cheeky chicken burger on the side (well, why not?), representatives from our airline came to greet us and find out if we wanted to be first on the plane, or last. All too swiftly, it was time for our flight. After a rapid scan through the private security scanner, our chauffeur was waiting to take us on the seven-minute trip from terminal 5 to terminal 3. Regular passengers are told to allow 90 minutes for the same journey. More Trending As much as I enjoyed the luxury, service and comfort of the lounge, this was the most exciting bit. Our car was escorted along a city-sized road network, through the secret network of tunnels and along the runway to our waiting plane. We climbed a staircase that took us through a door most people wouldn't have seen as they boarded, and our host passed us over to the cabin crew's capable hands. I doubt we'll be travelling like this again soon, and taking our children to the airport will be a painful experience in the future, but overall I think if I could afford to do it again, I would. Arrival and check-in Regular terminal: Piccadilly Line, sweaty armpits, jostled by other people's bags, carrying your own bags. Queues and self-serve bag drops. First class lounge: You've still got to go through the main airport, you just do it a little quicker. Windsor Suite: Chauffeur driven, private entrance, concierge, bags taken care of. Regular travel: Queuing, rushing, processed cattle. First class lounge: Fast track, but still face potential for queues with other first and business class passengers. Windsor security: Private security with no queues, no rush and no public scrutiny or stress. Regular terminal: Lots of plastic seating, noise and distraction. No privacy and you've got to pay for all your snacks/restaurants. First class lounge: Shared space with other travellers, buffet or a la carte dining, and champagne. Windsor suite: Complete privacy, ample space to lounge around, a TV you can control, full a la carte menu, fine dining and a butler service. Regular travel: Walking forever to get to the gate, more waiting and more queuing. First class: You still have to walk to the gate, but you get priority boarding. Windsor suite: Chauffeur driven from your lounge to your aircraft – you can request being let on first or last. Regular travel: Most travellers. First class: Premium passengers and frequent flyers. Windsor suite: Royals, celebrities, the new Pope and (for one time only) me. Regular terminal: Free. First class lounge: Free with first class ticket. Windsor suite: Packages start at £3,177 (+VAT) for you and three guests. Access is reserved for high-profile travellers or can be booked separately if you're in business or first.

The Assassin review — Keeley Hawes is a knockout as a ‘perimenopausal 007'
Can you ever truly pull off the comedy thriller? The comedy drama is everywhere these days, but that's easy. When you've run out of jokes you just go all serious for a bit (as a political sketch writer, believe me, I know that technique well). But in a full-on thriller, where plot and pace and mood are everything, how can a steady stream of gags not puncture the spell every single time? The movie Saltburn was theoretically a comedy thriller. I loved it, but it's not funny. If you can't decide if you're trying to be funny or darkly thrilling, you can end up with a man shagging another man's freshly covered grave or doing even worse to his bath plug. The Assassin, Prime Video's new six-part comedy thriller starring Keeley Hawes, is an education in how it should be done. It's an absolute cracker. The secret, we now know, is to serve the thrills and laughs one after another in very quick succession, not to try to blend them together. It's to take a quick break from, say, an all-action, no expense spared, absolutely full-on massacre and have a son ask his blood-spattered, gun-toting mother: 'Are you really not going to tell me why you're some kind of perimenopausal James Bond?' The simplicity of the premise only elevates it. Hawes's Julie, to the surprise of her son, a journalist, is a former 'hitwoman' drawn out of retirement for one last job. (It just doesn't sound right, does it, 'hitwoman', but I think that might be a joke too. The writers must be aware of the appropriate gender-neutral term for contract killer. It's right there in the title.) But there, you will not be shocked to learn, the simplicity stops as it gets lost in ever more interwoven webs of deceit. The scenes in a hellhole of a Libyan prison are every bit as dark and unsettling and stomach-churningly violent as anything you'll find in, say, Zero Dark Thirty. There are dismembered fingers all over the place and, eventually, a phone that has to be repeatedly unlocked with a very literal thumb drive. • The Top Ten Keeley Hawes performances — ranked And then, within seconds, you're watching a man built like the proverbial brick outhouse, powerless to take action against the almost octogenarian businessman who's slapping him repeatedly around the face, who also happens to be Jim Robinson from Neighbours (Alan Dale). By the end of episode four of six, which is all that's been made available for preview, all we know is that the world suddenly changes any time anyone dares to say out loud the word 'chantaine', which pertains to a shocking secret that must be suppressed whatever the blood-stained cost. With just a third of the action to go, we still have no idea what chantaine is, although I personally am leaning very gently towards incest. Another, less mysterious secret is that luxury saunas are still more dangerous than they look. It's strange how TV trends emerge, but barely a month after Mountainhead and centuries after the retirement of the iron maiden, the high-powered sauna has emerged as the torture instrument de jour for slightly stupid billionaires. In other recurring themes, Lisburn's own Richard Dormer, aka Gerry from Blue Lights and Norman Stoke in The Day of the Jackal, continues his late flourishing as a top-level criminal, and now appears to be hiding out in secret, dilapidated off-grid locations all over Europe. What's arguably most intriguing about The Assassin is that there is an easy way to get hold of a flawless comedy thriller, one with all the whip-smart, antic charm of, say, Killing Eve or Daniel Craig's last Bond movie, No Time to Die, and that is to pay a lot of money to Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Which is precisely what Prime Video did, several years ago, yet it has produced The Assassin without her involvement. If it feels Waller-Bridge-like, then it may be because it has been created by Two Brothers Productions, the two brothers being Harry and Jack Williams, who developed and produced Fleabag from Waller-Bridge's 2013 Edinburgh Fringe show. In The Assassin, they have yet another knockout triumph on their hands, and I can't wait for the final two episodes. • The best hidden gem TV shows and series to watch I have, on this page, occasionally mourned the near death of the straight-up, straightforward sitcom. Comedy dramas and comedy thrillers are fine, but only in a pure comedy can the laughs truly run the show. It's a long time since the humble sitcom ruled the TV schedules. That the three Gavin and Stacey Christmas specials were spread over 16 years, and without much else in between them, only proves the point. With comedy, it's always hardest to do it the supposedly easy way. What a treat, then, that the best new sitcom in years is back for a third series and as brilliant as ever. Here We Go, still being written by, and starring, the brilliant Tom Basden, and still starring the just as brilliant Alison Steadman, Katherine Parkinson and Jim Howick, is still regularly described as a 'sleeper hit'. Well all I can say is, 'Wake up, everybody! Wake up at once!' I truly envy anyone who has never seen Here We Go, never met its dysfunctional modern family and their boring life in suburbia, who can still take it all in from the beginning for the very first time in all of its chaotic, brilliant glory. It's possible that it takes a while to get into, because there are quite a lot of characters, and it takes a while to appreciate that every one of them is perfect, that they are each holding up their own corner of a ingeniously constructed comedy crucible into which anything can be placed and will always come out hilarious. Oh, the delight of knowing that absolutely everything you see, be it a smart door lock, a Lego Eiffel Tower or a Big Green Egg, or indeed two Big Green Eggs, are all Chekhov's guns, that all of them will go off, and all in more spectacularly disastrous ways than you've dared to imagine. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews Here We Go is a rarity in that its format, if it can be described in such a way, actually improves with age. Constant escalation is required. At the end of the last series, the Chekhov's gun actually was a gun, being waved about at a wedding, and rather too close to the cake. At the start of this series, among the first seeds to be planted — the first glimpse of chaos — is a can of pepper spray in the handbag of Gran Sue (Steadman). Oh, and none of them can get to a long-planned family outing to an escape room because they have all been locked in their house. If all this sounds like it's at risk of jumping the shark, then absolutely not, that's the whole point. The shark was jumped before the first episode. Here We Go exists beyond the shark.
