A pair of Sir Winston Churchill's reading glasses has gone on sale for an eye-watering amount.
The round-rimmed tortoiseshell glasses were made for the wartime prime minister by London opticians C W Dixey and Sons.
Three pairs of Churchill's spectacles were still in their possession when he died and were later found in their archives.
One of the pairs, made in 1954 and worn by Churchill during his second term as PM, is now being sold for £59,955.
The glasses and original Tory-blue case are accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from the manufacturer.
