A scrapbook by the designer of Charles and Diana's will go under the hammer in an online auction.
A bidding frenzy is expected from those wishing to own a piece of royal history.
The front cover features a black and white print of Diana on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral and is edged with the specially commissioned Nottingham lace used on the bodice of the princess' bridal gown.
The first page of the scrapbook features an original watercolour sketch of the gown while the second page features press clippings from a newspaper article entitled‘Fairytale comes True.’
It has been applied with fragments of bridal tulle, ivory faille bow, pearl beads, lace used on the hem of the dress and two swatches of silk all taken from Diana's bridal gown fabric.
Page three consists of facsimile sketches copied from the original press release about the dress, spangled tulle taken from the bridal veil and a bow of apricot silk from the bridesmaids' dresses.
On page four there is a facsimile sketch of one of the bridesmaid's dresses - again, including lace and fabric swatches.
