The ashes of a cat, seen skulking in the titles of Coronation Street for a decade, are to be auctioned.
Frisky was seen crouching on the roof of Jack Duckworth's pigeon loft at the start of more than 10,000 episodes from 1990.
His owner, John Rimington, from Leeds, is not sure how much Frisky's ashes will sell for but he hopes they will go to an "avid Corrie fan".
They will be sold on 22 July.
Frisky, who lost his battle against stomach cancer in 2000 at the age of 14, had to go through an intense audition process to get the coveted part in 1990.
Coronation Street's producers received more than 5,000 applications for the role.
After whittling it down to 10, the cats appeared on ITV's This Morning.
Viewers' votes were cast and the five felines with the most votes went on to be judged on a live catwalk.
