BBC Antiques Roadshow guest in disbelief over royal collection worth £15k
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An Antiques Roadshow participant was left exclaiming "that's a lot of money" as the valuation of his item caused a stir among the crowd on Sunday (June 1). The latest instalment of the popular BBC show was filmed at Wollaton Hall in Nottingham, where locals brought along their antiques and fine art for expert appraisal. During the episode, specialist Hilary Kay was shown an "extraordinary" assortment of personal items belonging to Queen Victoria. "When you see a VR cypher, the initials under a crown on anything, you know that you have something exciting. You have a piece of royal clothing," Hilary began. The guest revealed he had inherited the collection from his great-aunt, who served as a lady's maid to a wealthy family. "In the late 1930s and 1940s, she was lady's maid to a Lady Inglefield, who was the wife of Edward Fitzmaurice Inglefield, who came from a long line of naval people," he explained. "We found a sketch done by Princess Louise of one of the Inglefield admirals," the guest added, with Hilary quickly noting: "Princess Louise being one of Queen Victoria's daughters." The man continued: "So, somewhere there's a link... I'm miles off it," reports the Express. Hilary remarked that it was "interesting" that so many of Queen Victoria's undergarments are still in existence. "I've spoken to the Historic Royal Palaces about this, and the thought is actually that she asked her staff to give these away, not because they were worn out, but because actually they were in reasonable condition," she added. "They were really beautiful fabric, and she hoped that they might be able to make something of them. But I think because of the personal nature of these, I think people did keep them as souvenirs, as a direct link to something very personal to the Queen." Hilary then examined the collection closely, which featured items such as a pair of black stockings, a chemise, a nightdress, and a pair of Queen Victoria's split drawers. Regarding the value, the expert commented: "I know that the market is strong and I would certainly say something above £15,000," prompting an audible reaction of surprise from the crowd. "Right, that's a lot of money. Worth hanging on to, then. Very good," responded the astonished owner. Antiques Roadshow is available to stream on BBC iPlayer

Cause of failed Alaska Airlines landing gear that sent passengers screaming revealed
Nearly two years after passengers screamed while sparks flew down a runway during the landing of an Alaska Airlines flight, the cause has been revealed. A final report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released on Tuesday points to 'incorrect' maintenance work. Advertisement The flight, which departed from Seattle, Washington, made a hard touchdown in Santa Ana, Calif., during Tropical Storm Hilary after the left main landing gear collapsed on touchdown. Video recorded by a passenger captured the plane slamming into the ground at high speed. Sparks were seen flying as the plane appeared to drag its left wing along the tarmac. Investigators revealed that the incident was caused by a 'fatigue crack' of a metal trunnion pin, which is part of the left landing gear. The fracture formed from excessive grinding during a 2018 maintenance overhaul, which introduced heat damage to the metal. While the crack was initially not visible, it grew over time and ultimately 'caused the pin to fracture during landing,' the NTSB report said. Advertisement 5 First responders help passengers disembark the Alaska Airlines 737 after the rough landing at John Wayne Airport on Aug. 20, 2023. Orange County Fire Authority 5 Alaska Airlines flight 1288 sits on the tarmac after Orange County Fire Authority 'Results of this examination and previous NTSB investigations demonstrate that even relatively mild heat exposure from grinding and/or machining during overhaul can lead to cracking, which can lead to fatigue crack growth and failed landing gear components, as occurred in this accident,' the report stated. The report added that the pin had endured more than 4,000 landing cycles since undergoing the 2018 maintenance work. Advertisement The crack itself had likely been present for approximately 800 landing cycles, the NTSB found. 5 A passenger aboard the flight captured the moment the plane sparked during the landing. bhi Amineni/Youtube 5 Sparks and smoke shoot off the plane after the landing in Orange County, California. bhi Amineni/Youtube Although the aircraft sustained substantial damage from the hard landing, all 112 passengers and crew members were able to deplane safely and without injury.

Tropical Storm Alvin forms in the Pacific, an unusual first for 2025
Alvin's formation marks the end of an unusual drought of tropical activity in the Northern Hemisphere. In mid-May, forecasters noted that multiple storms, often in the western North Pacific, usually had formed by this point in the year. The oddity didn't stop the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from predicting an above-average hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean. More: See projected path, spaghetti models of Alvin (While all is quiet at the moment in the Atlantic, forecasters are keeping an eye on several weather systems ahead of the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1.) It is possible Alvin may strengthen further into a hurricane, AccuWeather said. The storm is expected to begin to lose wind intensity as it moves northward toward Mexico into the weekend and moves over cooler waters and an area of increased wind shear, which acts to tear storms apart. Alvin marks an early start to the eastern Pacific season. The average date for the first tropical storm of that season is June 10, according to the National Hurricane Center. Some rain, clouds may reach US southwest Alvin "may still wander far enough to the north along the west coast of Mexico to allow some moisture in the form of clouds and downpours to reach parts of Texas or New Mexico as early as this weekend," AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said. Eastern Pacific tropical storms and hurricanes seldom have any major impact on the U.S. "While many eastern Pacific tropical storms and hurricanes move west-northwest and eventually fizzle in the open ocean, some do strike land, as we saw in 2023 with the remnant of Hurricane Hilary in the Desert Southwest and with Category 5 Hurricane Otis in Acapulco, Mexico," noted meteorologist Sara Tonks in an online forecast. Map shows Alvin's projected storm path This forecast track shows the most likely path of the center of the storm. It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time. Below-average season expected in eastern Pacific The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, in a seasonal hurricane forecast released May 22, said that a below-average eastern Pacific hurricane season is most likely. An average season sees 15 named storms. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season officially began on May 15, two weeks earlier than the Atlantic hurricane season.
