George Best Faberge egg
A precious egg to celebrate the life of legendary footballer George Best is on display at Belfast City Airport which has been re-named in his honour.The egg was designed by Sarah Faberge, whose great grandfather Carl was famed for the precious jewellery he fashioned for the Russian tsars.
The eggs are worth about £10,000, and one of the George Best Faberge eggs has already made £28,000 at auction.
The money raised goes to the George Best Foundation which raises money for local football and research into liver disease and alcoholism.
