A ticket to a card game night organised by the Royal Household’s social club nearly eight decades ago is among a collection of forgotten objects uncovered during ongoing restoration work at Buckingham Palace.
Blank Littlewoods Football Pool betting coupons from 1957, a pair of worn black hobnail boots, and an empty Silk Cut cigarette packet were among the everyday items discovered beneath the structure, alongside an almost 140-year-old fragment of West End theatre listings from The Standard newspaper in 1889.
