A collection of Pokémon cards stored in a retired decorator's attic for 15 years has sold for £1.56m at auction.

The seller, from Woking, said he realised the cards were valuable after reading about a single card fetching more than £6,000 in his local newspaper.

His collection was auctioned off at Ewbank's in Surrey on Wednesday. The auction house claims it was the UK's most valuable trading cards auction ever.
