A 'Who's Who' autograph book of historical figures assembled by a British hotel receptionist while she worked in Paris during the World War One peace talks has sold for £2,200.
Cheeky Hilda Owen kept the pocket book with her whenever she worked a shift at the famous Hotel Majestic in Paris in 1919.
And whenever a famous guest checked in to the luxurious establishment Hilda offered up her little leather-bound book for them to sign alongside the hotel register.
As it was 1919, many famous and important people from the world of politics and the military stayed at the hotel, which today is called the Peninsula Paris.
