Special items that were used by Queen Elizabeth II during her jubilee celebrations have raised a whopping £15,050 for a cancer charity.

They were put up for auction in March, donated by the Queen's pageant master Bruno Peek. He's helped to organise lots of royal celebrations over 40 years.

The Diamond Jubilee 'Diamond' was the item that raised the most money, selling for £4,400.

It was displayed in the Tower of London before being used by the Queen in 2012.

Three anniversary torches also raised lots of money for Cancer Research UK.

The Millennium Torch that was used to celebrate the arrival of the year 2000 sold for £2,400 and the Golden Jubilee torch sold for £2,200.

The Trafalgar Weekend Torch, used at HMS Victory Portsmouth in 2005, was bought for £1,300.

When Bruno Peek asked permission to sell the objects, he said he hoped they'd go to "people who love the Royal Family".

Bruno Peek says he hopes the people who bought the treasures "will treasure them as much as I did".
