A life jacket worn by a Titanic survivor has been sold at auction to a collector for £670,000.
It is the only life jacket from the Titanic to be sold at auction in the 114 years since the ship sank, going under the hammer at Henry Aldridge & Son in Devizes, Wiltshire.
First class passenger Laura Mabel Francatelli, who was one of about 700 people to survive the tragedy in 1912, used the vest before entering a lifeboat.
Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said he was "ecstatic". He added: "It reflects the ongoing interest and passion for the story of the Titanic, and its passengers and crew."
He previously said the vest was "the only lifejacket from a survivor to emerge at auction in 114 years so it is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity for collectors".
