A controversial collection of corgi sculptures produced to celebrate the Queen's platinum jubilee will find their forever homes next month.

Last year, Broadland Council came in for criticism after splashing out £20,000 on seven wicker sculptures to celebrate the jubilee year.

But now, details of how the figures of the late monarch's favoured pets can be secured have been confirmed.

Four of the 6ft long, 4ft high sculptures will go under the hammer through Horners Auction House at 10am on Thursday, February 2.

Proceeds will go to Norfolk-based charity Nelson's Journey, which supports children through bereavement.

John Fisher, Broadland Council chairman, who chose the charity, said: "I look forward to seeing where these historical pieces of art find a new home and I am thrilled that the auction will support the vital work of Nelson's Journey."

It comes after one of the seven was gifted to King Charles - who is set to put it on display at the Sandringham Estate from June.
