TV personality Eric Knowles, pictured, who became a household name as an expert on the Antiques Roadshow, made a guest appearance at the Red House Antique Centre in Duncombe Place, York, last night.

The evening, to raise money for Yorkshire Cancer Research, began with Eric giving a lecture called Confessions Of An Auctioneer.
