This Is Another 'Good Luck' Story,

found on the television series Antiques Roadshow,

at the beginning of the Second World War to keep up morale in case of invasion, thousands of poster with the message, 'Keep Calm and Carry On' were printed and yet only a few were handed out, one man, Mr Turnbull was given around 15 to put up close to his home, but by the time he received them the threat of a German invasion had waned, he kept them rolled up in an elastic band at his home before passing them on to his daughter - who only realised their true value after taking them to an Antiques Roadshow event, it appears that they are believed to be the only surviving originals in Britain, Roadshow expert Paul Atterbury told Mrs. Turnbull (the owners daughter), that she was 'probably sitting on the world's only stock' of the famous posters - and they are worth several thousand pounds, the Antiques Roadshow is due to be broadcast on BBC this Sunday at 8pm, what a great find for Mrs. Turnbull.
