Students had "lots" of fun raising cash for charity - by auctioning themselves off in return for cash.

Some 25 teenagers and four teachers from Colchester Sixth Form College in North Hill, Colchester, took part in the Slave Auction.

The offer of a date with some of the college's most eligible girls and boys attracted about 300 fellow students.

Bids ranged from £3 to £20 and organisers raised about £350 for Headway and other local charities.
