Three of Queen Victoria's ornate black silk bodices emerge for auction.

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.

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.

After the Queen had finished with the garments they were kept by George Searle who served the Royal Family his whole life.
