Fans of the Mission: Impossible film series are being offered the chance to own a piece of screen history – and help Highland Hospice.

A set of bongo drums used during the recording sessions of the latest film – Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning, Part 1 – is up for grabs in a global raffle for the charity.

The drums are signed by the score's Inverness-born composer Lorne Balfe, the film's director Chris McQuarrie, editor Eddie Hamilton and all the players.

The winner will also receive a signed musical score from the same session.

The Highland Hospice said it was a chance to own a tangible piece of the Mission: Impossible magic.

"These rare collector's items are a testament to the artistry and passion of the musicians involved, and now they can be yours," it said.

It is not the first time Mr Balfe has show his support for Highland Hospice.

Last summer, he raffled off a signed score of the new Mission: Impossible film.

Mr Balfe has worked on many well-known projects including Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Black Widow, Top Gun: Maverick and Churchill.

He is also the composer of the music for the follow-up film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two.

To take part in the raffle, donate £10 per raffle ticket via a JustGiving link.

The winner will be announced by the charity at noon on Friday August 18.
