The two tablets held aloft by Charlton Heston in 1956 film The Ten Commandments carry an estimate of £25,000.
Most expensive lot of all is a model TIE fighter from the original Star Wars movie of 1977, which featured in the climactic trench dogfight against the Death Star. Despite measuring just 18 inches high by 14 inches wide, it is expected to fetch up to £100,000.
