Jerry Donahue played with British folk-rock bands Fairport Convention and Fotheringay

British "rock royalty" have rallied to help a highly respected American guitarist who is struggling financially after suffering a stroke.

Sir Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour and Jeff Lynne are among 23 stars to sign a guitar to be sold at auction.

Money raised will help Jerry Donahue, who played with the folk-rock bands Fairport Convention and Fotheringay.

The guitar is due to go under the hammer on 11 December in Wiltshire.
