A guest on Antiques Roadshow was left stunned after an expert revealed a Winnie the Pooh book purchased from a charity shop was worth more than £1,000.

The popular BBC show visited Beaumaris Castle in Anglesey to value treasured belongings and items and see if they are worth a substantial amount of money.

One resident brought her Winnie the Pooh to be valued by expert Clive Farahar, which was the first book in the popular children's book series by A.A Milne.The book, which had a dust cover, was originally purchased from a charity shop for around 20p to 30p by the guest's mother.

She revealed her mother loved visiting charity shops. Clive discovered the rare book was a first edition released in 1926. Asking about the book's backstory, the guest replied: "I'd asked my mother, you know, with the grandchildren, as she was going around the charity shops (to buy some books). "She got me a few books, and then they've been in the house, but I didn't really take much notice of it, until I got my daughter a Winnie the Pooh teddy. "And then I thought, 'Oh, I'm sure I've got one (book) somewhere'.
