Famous names, including comedians Johnny Vegas and Alan Davies, Roald Dahl illustrator Quentin Blake, singer Cerys Matthews and even the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams pencilled sketches at the Telegraph Hay Festival in aid of the town's primary school.

The Hay School Parent Teacher and Friends Association is auctioning the set of 32 sketches individually on on-line bidding site eBay from Thursday, October 10 until 8pm on Thursday, October 17.
