As Robert Harley watched Flog It! and spotted a Wheatstone musical instrument sell for just under £1,000, he realised that a similar item had been sitting in the loft of his Partick home.

As Robert Harley watched the Wheatstone musical instrument sell for just under £1,000, he realised that a similar item had been sitting in the loft of his Partick home for two decades.

He said: “On the programme the concertina which was a Wheatstone was valued at £500 because of its condition and it sold for £900. "I don’t remember anyone in the family playing this instrument so not sure who originally it came from, but I got it from my dad.”After unexpectedly finding the cash in the attic, the 70-year-old decided to split the money between two charities who have supported him.
