Meet the man who has spent more than £1,000 on four pieces of CAKE - which he claims are all from royal weddings.
Marcus Leavesley, 58, splashed out £500 on a slice he says is from the Queen and Prince Philip's wedding in 1947.
He also spent £200 on cake apparently from the then Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding in 1981.
And he bagged a deal when he bought slices supposedly from the weddings of both Princess Anne and Mark Phillips' and Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson for £400.
Marcus is now looking to sell the set for upwards of £2,000 - and is hoping to get a slice from Prince Edward's wedding to drive the price up higher.
The autograph dealer, from Lockerbie, Scotland, said: "They smell a bit fruity and fusty, but apart from that, they're in great condition.
"They use a lot of alcohol in wedding cakes, so I think that's what's prevented the slices from growing mould."
Marcus was originally looking for royal autographs on eBay to sell on when he found cake from the late Queen's wedding.
He bought it for £500 and continued looking for more slices from other royal weddings to start a collection.
Marcus then found a slice from the new king's first wedding to Princess Diana in 1981.
After a few more months of looking, he hit the jackpot again - and found a slice from Princesses Anne's wedding to Captain Mark Phillips in 1973.
This was being sold with a slice from Prince Andrew's wedding to British author and television personality Sarah Ferguson in 1986.
He bought the pair for £400, and has since been looking for a slice from Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones' wedding to complete his collection.
Marcus said: "I saw the slice from Queen Elizabeth II's wedding and saw an opportunity.
"I'm an autograph seller by trade, and I knew I could probably resell the cake piece for more than the £500 it was being sold for - especially as part of a collection.
"So I set out to find cake pieces from other royal weddings, and eventually found slices from Princess Anne's, King Charles' and Prince Andrew's ceremonies.
"I also have a programme from Queen Elizabeth II's wedding which came with the cake.
"Each cake is made from all the usual ingredients like egg, butter and sugar - but the excessive use of brandy has stopped them growing mould.
"They're quite strong smelling, but other than that, it was like they were made yesterday.
"I reckon I can get £2,000 to £3,000 for them at auction as it stands, but if I could find a piece from Prince Edward's wedding, that would drive the price up even more!"
