Daniel's Spectacle-r Donation

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's spectacles will form part of a new artwork to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust.

The actor, whose mother is Jewish, has donated his first pair of glasses to an exhibition leading up to National Holocaust Memorial Day.

The 18-year-old gave the specs - an oval, grey metal-framed pair - to the Respectacles Project.

Sending them in to the collection, the teenager included a note saying: "Please find enclosed my first pair of glasses which I wore at school at six."

"I wish you every success with the exhibition."

Other celebrities donating their glasses include Yoko Ono, Stephen Fry, Jerry Springer, Paul O'Grady and Ronnie Corbett.

Around 1,000 pairs have so far been donated to the art project.

Respectacles will be on display at Liverpool Town Hall from January 21 to 26. Afterwards, the glasses will be donated to Vision Aid Overseas.
