Tony Blair walked out of Downing Street with a haul of gifts from his ten years as Prime Minister including guitars from rock stars and nine watches from Silvio Berlusconi, it was revealed yesterday.
Jewellery, ornaments, sculptures and even a dagger from Yemen were among the 76 items he and Cherie could not bear to part with when they left office.
The guitars from rock legends Bono and Bryan Adams are likely to be worth a small fortune if sold at auction.
