Stuck for present ideas for your loved ones this Christmas? We've found the perfect solution - why not buy them a pair of huge eyeballs!
Eyeballs, approx six feet high, are on sale at eBay now. They're not just any gigantic eyeballs, but ones that have been signed by all members of music legends Pink Floyd and are famous for featuring on the front cover of the band’s DVD Pulse and were used as stage props on the recent press screening for the DVD.
All proceeds will go to the national homelessness charity Crisis. David Gilmour, of Pink Floyd, said: "The eBay auction will not only raise much needed funds for the charity but will also raise awareness of the plight of the homeless at a time of year when they are most vulnerable."
You can view the auction by going to music > music memorabilia > artists/groups > Pink Floyd at www.ebay.co.uk/charity.
