The chewed end of a cigar smoked by Sir Winston Churchill in a hospital bed has sold at auction for £2,000.

It was picked out of an ashtray by a nurse while the former prime minister was recuperating from a fractured hip at Middlesex Hospital in 1962.

She saved it for her little brother in a bag marked "soiled dressings disposal" where it has been kept since.

Churchill, then 87, was admitted to hospital after falling out of bed while on holiday in Monte Carlo.

Damn he pulls an OJ (jwintosh) on that cigar!
