Hilary Kay meets the grandson of a Derbyshire Police chief constable, who was gifted a signed photograph and tie pin by US president John F Kennedy, while a decorative panorama of the coronation of King George IV catches Justin Croft’s eye. Frances Christie is taken with a vibrant oil painting by Wigan-based artist Lawrence Isherwood, and she hears the story of its purchase from the artist in the late 1960s. Lisa Lloyd takes a trip down memory lane with a look back at the most iconic stores on London’s King’s Road in the 1970s and 1980s, with a collection of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren designs. Items include the sought-after ‘pirate collection’, complete with boots and stockings, and a pheasant feather tie and shirt which belonged to Malcolm McLaren. A pair of 300-year-old long johns, made for an emperor of Japan, Marc Allum is charmed by an Ottoman beaded snake made by Turkish prisoners of war, and Mark Smith hears how a rescue turned to tragedy when he sees an Albert Medal awarded posthumously for gallantry. Eric Knowles takes a look back over his 44 years on the roadshow and shares some of his most prized antiques, including a plate designed for Marie Antoinette.
