Margaret Thatcher wardrobe auctioned

Selected items from Margaret Thatcher’s wardrobe are to be auctioned off as part of a sale of her personal effects.

Clothes, jewellery and mementoes — including the former British prime minister’s red leather despatch box — belonging to the former prime minister are being put up for sale by her family.

About 350 lots will go under the hammer by auctioneers Christie’s in London next month.
