BBC Antiques Roadshow guest gobsmacked as pair of knickers valued at £12,000

In a special edition of Antiques Roadshow to mark the coronation of King Charles, BBC presenter Fiona Bruce looked back through the archives of the most intriguing artefacts.

Each of the special artefacts had "royal connections", and included rare penny black stamps, a 120-year-old chocolate bar and a gold bracelet given by Queen Victoria to one of her ladies-in-waiting.

At Salisbury Cathedral, British antiques expert and author Hilary Kay claimed the pair of knickers were an "extraordinary rarity".
