Dame Elizabeth Taylor's collection of jewellery, art and designer clothing will be exhibited around the world, Christie's auction house has announced.

The three-month tour will start in September and include stops in Moscow, London and Dubai before the items are sold at an auction in New York.

Known for her love of diamonds, the actress owned some of the world's most expensive stones.

The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation will receive proceeds from the exhibit.

The actress, whose film credits included National Velvet, Cleopatra and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? died in Los Angeles earlier this year, aged 79.
