Pictured: The only lock which remains in the gold and turquoise heart-shaped bracelet 170 years later is from Princess Helena - the queen's fifth child.

A poignant bracelet that belonged to Queen Victoria and still contains a lock of her daughter's hair has sold for almost £4000.

The extraordinary piece of jewellery has five lockets attached to it and each would have held strands of hair of her children at the time.

She had the names of Princesses Victoria, Alice, Louise and Helena and Prince Alfred engraved on the bracelet.
