Lee's Dracula film cape auctioned

Sir Christopher Lee's cape from 1958 horror film Dracula sold at auction for £26,400.

The actor - who was recently knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours List - signed a letter confirming the authenticity of the garment, which Angels the Costumiers sold at Bonhams in Knightsbridge, London.

The lot also came with a black and white still image of Sir Christopher playing the iconic character.

Other items for sale included Clint Eastwood's military tunic from the 1968 film Where Eagles Dare, which sold for £9,600.

Mel Gibson's naval officer jacket and a woollen waistcoat worn by Edward Fox from the 1984 film The Bounty sold together for £7,800.

The auction also had a Blackadder section, with costumes worn by Rowan Atkinson selling particularly well.

A British military tunic worn by the actor in 1989's Blackadder Goes Forth sold for 15 times its estimate at £12,000. The Lord Edmund Blackadder costume from the second series of the show sold for £14,400, having been estimated to fetch between £2,000 to £3,000.

There were 251 lots at the entertainment memorabilia auction, selling for a total of £283,980, with many lots going to one mystery telephone bidder.
