James Bond's tuxedo from the poker scene in Casino Royale is to go on sale at auction next week, the Press Association reports.

The dinner suit, which was worn by Daniel Craig at the Atlantis Casino in the Bahamas, will be one of the stars of the show at the Great British Movie Event, where Harry Potter and Wallace & Gromit memorabilia will also be available to buy.

Taking place on June 17th at Old Billingsgate in London, the charity fundraiser will attract a host of stars, including Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis.

All the money raised will go to the UK's National Film and Television School.

The image of James Bond in a dinner suit is iconic - and Daniel Craig's appearance in the tux during a no-limit Texas hold'em scene with villain Le Chiffre was arguably the standout moment in Casino Royale.

Quantum of Solace, the next Bond instalment, will be released later this year.
