A large slice of Charles and Diana's wedding cake has emerged for sale 40 years after they tied the knot - and it is still wrapped in cling film.
The impressive portion of icing and marzipan base is decorated with a Royal coat of arms in red, blue and gold.
It was given to Moyra Smith, one of the Queen Mother's employees at Clarence House, following the 1981 ceremony.
The slice, which measures 8ins by 7ins and weighs 28oz, has been preserved in cling film in an old cake tin for four decades.
