A fur coat worn by a first class stewardess on the Titanic during her rescue has sold at auction for £150,000.

Mabel Bennett was in her nightdress when the liner began to sink after hitting an ice berg on her maiden voyage in 1912 with the loss of more than 1,500 passengers and crew.

But she put on the beaver lamb fur coat she owned to keep her warm as she boarded lifeboat No 5.
