The brother and sister of Jacqueline du Pre are selling ‘personal effects and rare recordings’ through an English auction house.

Piers du Pré and Hilary Finzi have listed three concert frocks, four cello bridges and her teddy bear.

The siblings were behind a sordid biographical film, Hilary and Jackie.

The sale is on Friday.

    That is one item that will not be seen on auction.
