Memorabilia from the latest James Bond film 'Spectre' has raised just over £2.78 million for charity after being sold at auction.

James Bond's Aston Martin was by far the most valuable item - it sold for £2.43 million even though it was only expected to go for between £1 million and £1.5 million.

The car, which was designed and engineered especially for the latest Bond movie and is the only DB10 to be released for public sale, also has a special plaque signed by 007 actor Daniel Craig.

Bond's Day of the Dead costume, which was worn by Craig during the dramatic opening sequence, sold for £98,500.

The entire auction of 'Spectre' memorabilia raised funds for various charities including Medecins Sans Frontieres and the United Nations Mine Action Service.

Bids were made from 25 countries across four continents for the live auction, with all lots going to anonymous buyers.

A Spectre ring - the nine carat solid gold ring worn by Christoph Waltz to play Bond villain Oberhauser - raised £32,500.

Among the 10 lots sold at the auction were watches worn by Craig as 007 and Ralph Fiennes as M, a final script from the movie, and singer Sam Smith's signed sheet music for Writing's On The Wall.

A further online-only auction on the Christies website, titled 'James Bond Spectre: Online', will remain open until February 23 at 3pm.

This includes Q's personalised laptop used by Ben Whishaw, a clapperboard signed by Craig, and bad guy Hinx's metal thumbnails which were made for Dave Bautista.
