A silver cigarette case gifted by King George VI to the man who inspired the film The King's Speech is expected to sell for well over £10,000.
The 9ins by 7ins case that belonged to the stammering monarch's speech therapist Lionel Logue was meant to have been auctioned in April.
The sale was put on hold due to coronavirus but the postponement has only proved to heightened interest in the item.
