A guest on the Antiques Roadshow made history after his item was valued at a record-breaking £1m.
The guest had brought in a family heirloom causing a lot of excitement. Expert Geoffrey Minn recognised the item as a Faberge sculpture of a pear blossom belonging to the Worcestershire army regiment.
But before he could give his valuation, the guest enthusiastically explained the incredible history behind the sculpture. According to the Mirror, he said: "It was formed in 1794 to protect the shores against a Napoleonic invasion. It was agreed that the regiment should serve only within the United Kingdom. However, in 1899 when the Boer War was going badly, it was decided that some of [the regiment] as volunteers would be mobilised.
