A collection of vintage Star Wars items including Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon have landed by the iron railings near Parliament Square in Oldham.
Oxfam Oldham on Yorkshire Street has had an exciting few days this week after a bag containing an intriguing collection of Star Wars figurines and collectible vehicles was dropped off by a member of the public.

Volunteers said they were "amazed" to sort through the bag of incredible donations.
One Star Wars enthusiast on the team quickly got to work researching the age and value of the items.
He discovered that the whole collection dates from the 1970s and would be highly desirable to a wide range of collectors.
The collection includes the vehicles, Luke Skywalker's X-Wing, Millennium Falcon and an Interceptor, and a Chewbacca figurine.
To give the collection the special send-off it deserves, the charity shop will be hosting a 'Star Wars' sale day' on Monday, February 26, at 12pm sharp.
