The only surviving Union flag from the Battle of Trafalgar sold at auction yesterday for more than 20 times its predicted price. The flag, which was presented by the 540-strong crew to Fife-born Lieutenant James Clephan after the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, was expected to fetch up to £15,000. But it eventually sold for £320,000, at the Trafalgar Day Sale in London. The flag was put up for sale by one of Lt Clephan's descendants, who now lives in Australia.
