A signed guitar from Brighton band The Kooks will be auctioned on eBay today to raise money for the people of Darfur and Chad in Africa.

The Oxfam-led auction sees other donations from celebrities sold on the internet site, ranging from one of Elton John's suits to Dame Helen Mirren's script from film The Queen.

It is hoped the auction will help hit the charity's fundraising target of £5 million.

Kooks singer Luke Pritchard said: "In Darfur more than two million people have been forced to flee their homes and are living in makeshift shelters in refugee camps.

"Oxfam is providing help to more than 500,000 people, working to keep them alive, but to keep going Oxfam needs our help too.

"We're donating this signed Taylor Baby Acoustic Guitar and hope it raises lots of cash."
