A pair of bloomers that apparently belonged to Queen Victoria are to be auctioned off in Derby.
The knickers have a 50in (127cm) waist and date from the 1890s, which indicates the monarch had a large girth as she approached her 70s.
Hanson's Auctioneers are selling the bloomers on 30 July and expect them to fetch at least £500.
The knickers, which come from a family in Lincolnshire, were owned by a lady-in-waiting to the Queen.
Auctioneer Charles Hanson said: "These pants, considering their provenance and pedigree, are very exciting."
