The Great Sir Winston Churchill’s Blood Is Up For Auction. Do You Want Some?

You can now actually buy Churchill's blood
        A vial of blood from one of the greatest British leaders of all time is up for auction.
The tiny capsule containing Sir Winston Churchill’s blood will go under the hammer with an estimate of £300-£600. In 1962 the WW2 leader was holidaying in Monte Carlo three years before his death when he fell out of his bed and fractured his hip, metro.co.uk reports

While being treated in hospital student nurse Patricia Fitzgibbon asked if she could keep the small vial labelled: ‘Sir Winston S Churchill WWB9.’
Her wish was granted and now, on the 50 year anniversary of Churchill’s death, the vial of blood is available to the highest bidder.

 Timothy Medhurst from Duke’s said: ‘The blood is a poignant reminder of an injury which marked the beginning of the end for Churchill and as such, we expect there to be great interest in it. It could sell for thousands.’ Maybe if you consume the blood it will give you super Nazi-fighting strength plus a love of cigars and witty comebacks?
