An autograph hunter who loves collecting the names of stars has become a "famous face" in the charity shop he volunteers at.
Andrew Stewart, 61, helps out at the East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) shop in Sheringham.
Mr Stewart is said to have a "vast" autograph collection, which includes the signatures of all manner of stars including Sean Connery, Tiger Woods, Ant and Dec and the Beach Boys.
Such is his love of working in the EACH shop and meeting people for a chat, that Mr Stewart also pops into other ones in Holt, Cromer, North Walsham and Fakenham.
And the way he is becoming a local celebrity for volunteering, it looks as if people will soon be asking for his autograph.
Mr Stewart started volunteering for EACH after moving to Sheringham from Surrey in 2021.
He dedicates 16 to 20 hours a week, including every Monday and Friday morning and Wednesday afternoon.
The football and cricket fan, who supports Chelsea and Middlesex, said: "There’s such a great atmosphere in the shop and it’s somewhere I feel safe and comfortable.
“Everyone is so friendly and it feels like a family.

“I enjoy meeting people and love the challenge of raising as much as possible, especially if it’s a high-value item.”
As well as collecting autographs, Mr Stewart has visited 70 football league grounds.
He has also battled health issues but remains ever positive.
Mr Stewart said: “I’ve had various health issues down the years, including being knocked off my motorbike after an accident in 2011.
“Then, six years ago, I was diagnosed with throat cancer and that meant many more months in hospital.

“It’s been a long road back and I still have health complications now.
“However, I don’t let anything hold me back and try and carry on as best I can, because my volunteering is so important to me.”
