Organisers say the 40-model sale was 'brilliant', with an NUFC strip Shaun selling for £11,000.
Organisers have hailed people's "incredible" generosity after 40 Shaun the Sheep sculptures were auctioned off, making £195,400 for charity.The money raised from the auction will go to St Oswald's Hospice.
Another to attract a bidding war was Lot 29, called Art is Mischief, which depicted Shaun poking his head through the Mona Lisa. St Oswald's chief executive Steph Edusei said: "The tension and excitement in the room was intense, as our in-person bidders went head to head with hundreds of Shaun fans who had registered to bid online.
The charity hopes it will hold a future art trail, despite a number of the sculptures being vandalised during the summer months whenFundraising manager Nikki Maguire said the "positivity" of the event had outweighed the "needless" damage.
