Performers from the London 2017 Olympic Games opening ceremony are "cashing in" on their moment in history by selling props and costumes online for thousands of pounds.

Volunteers in Danny Boyle’s £27 million extravaganza, one of the most successful shows in TV history, have placed a variety of items on eBay for as much as £5,000.

They include costumes, a book read by JK Rowling, programmes and even confetti that was fired into the air as the British team entered the 80,000-seat stadium.

While Games officials insisted they were happy that any props “go to a good home” other performers labelled the decision as “crass”, “disrespectful” and not in the spirit of the Friday night’s performance.

On Monday night, bids for a Freddie Mercury costume were starting at £5000, an “Industrial Revolution” costume was on sale for £2500 while a male nurse outfit was posted for more than £2000.

Another "1990s" florescence colour outfit was on sale for £1500 while a David Bowie costume, also worn during the music section of the show, was retailing for £600.

The official short story book used by the Harry Potter author, who read the opening to JM Barrie’s Peter Pan to the children of Great Ormond Street Hospital, was put on sale by an unnamed doctor for £30, plus £4.50 postage on eBay.

But some performers have been left angry by the decision of their colleagues to “cash in” on the ceremony.
