A bottle of champagne from Britain's Prince Charles' wedding to Diana is expected to fetch £1,200 at auction.
Princess Diana had given the 1961 vintage Dom Perignon to Brian Ames, manager of exclusive London store Harrods, as a 50th birthday present in 1988, seven years after she married the heir to the throne.
Its 1961 vintage was selected as it was the year of the bride's birth.
James Grinter of auction house Reeman Dansie, said: "It is very rare to find a Royal Wedding bottle of 1961 Dom Perignon because it was a strictly limited release and even rarer to find it still sealed in its original box."
It is understood that just 99 bottles of the vintage - regarded as one of the finest ever produced - were shipped across from the France's Champagne region for the wedding.
All are believed to have been consumed at the Buckingham Palace reception after the wedding, watched by an estimated 1,000 million people worldwide.
12 other magnums were also delivered - with six going to the royal household and the other six presented as gifts to drinks trade charities.
A similar boxed and sealed bottle of the exclusive champagne was sold in 2004.
Diana was born on July 1, 1961 and married Prince Charles on July 29, 1981 at St Paul's Cathedral.
The couple were divorced on August 28, 1996 before Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997.
The sale takes place in Colchester later this month.
