Denise Kelly, specialist said: “Brian Finch was a passionate collector of film, TV, and theatre autograph memorabilia throughout his life and amassed one of the most complete collections of authentic celebrity signatures anywhere.
“From an early age, Brian attended local cinema and a variety of theatre productions where he developed a fascination for the ‘silver screen’, leading performers of the day, and a desire to collect mementos of his experience.
“Working as a senior civil servant for the Ministry of Defence in the UK and overseas, he spent much of his spare time building his collection, and when he retired he turned his hobby into a singular focus, and devoted his time to his collection.”
