Coldplay and David Bowie are among artists who have donated shoes to be auctioned off for the charity Mines Advistory Group (MAG).

Ringo Starr, Lily Allen, Johnny Marr, and Nina Persson are among others who have joined the fundraiser.

The executive director of MAG, Lou McGrath, said: “The support from celebrities for the shoe auction has been fantastic and resulted in an impressive collection of footwear. The money raised will play a vital role in clearing the remnants of conflict, preventing injuries and deaths and regenerating communities. The money is especially needed for our work in Lebanon, where the UN estimates there are around 100,000 unexploded bombs at 359 separate sites.”
