Wolverhampton Mayor Councillor Phil Page is auctioning off banners and signage used during the Wolves Promotion Parade earlier this year for his chosen charities.

Around 80,000 people lined the streets of Wolverhampton on May 7 as Wolves celebrated the club's return to the Premier League – with the event being dubbed as the biggest party the city had ever seen.

Councillor Page is hoping that Wolves fans will be eager to own a piece of history and snap up the items in his charity online auction.

The lots include giant banners – some of which have been signed by the Wolves squad – which lined the parade route and adorned the city's art gallery on the day. Wolverhampton Art Gallery was the venue for the Civic Reception held in the club's honour.

Also on offer at the auction is the use of an executive box at the Molineux for up to eight people, when Wolves take on Liverpool on Friday, December 21.

Councillor Page said: "The Wolves promotion parade was an absolutely amazing day which anyone lucky enough to witness will never forget.

“We have some of the banners and signs which were used on the day to line the parade route and around West Park and I thought that people might want to own a piece of history and bid for them to raise money for charity.

"Wolves have some of the most loyal and diehard fans in the world and I feel sure they will jump at the chance to own these collector’s items and help me raise funds for these really worthwhile charities.”

Councillor Page's mayoral charities are Inspire You, Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre, Kingswood Trust and Good Shepherd Relief in Need.

The auction is open until noon on Tuesday. To make a bid, visit www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/mayors-auction
