Three of Queen Victoria's ornate black silk bodices emerge for auction.<br />
<br />
Clothing belonging to Queen Victoria has emerged for sale for £9,000 - 150 years after being stowed away as a momento by one of her servants.<br />
<br />
The three black bodices, which formed the top half of her famous two-piece mourning dresses, were worn by the monarch in the 1860s and 70s.<br />
<br />
After the Queen had finished with the garments they were kept by George Searle who served the Royal Family his whole life.
