Antiques Road Trip presenters Raj and Irita were shocked (Image: BBC) Antiques Roadshow stars Irita Marriott and Raj Bisram were left in shock on Antiques Road Trip when a Royal item failed to impress at auction. In the episode, which aired again on BBC 1 on Thursday (November 16), the pair travelled to Stamford, Lincolnshire, hoping to find bargain items that would yield significant profits at auction. Raj believed he had hit the jackpot with a Royal collection discovered at Stratton Oakford Antiques.
The 67 year old co-founder of Bentley's Fine Art and Antiques Auction House in Cranbrook, Kent, found a "set of medals that all belonged to the same person" along with a substantial amount of paperwork. He explained: "Now, when you get a set of medals all on one bar, they all belong to the same person. There seems to be a lot of paperwork, and with everything that's militaria, or anything, if you have the paperwork that goes with it, it gives it provenance, that will all help.
" He eagerly took his find to the front desk to learn more about its history. According to Chris, the owner of the antique shop, the naval medals belonged to a radar operator named John Philip Middleton during the Second World War. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
