Princess Diana's jumper sells for a million dollars
A knitted sweater once owned by Princess Diana has sold at auction in New York for $1.1 million.
The red woollen jumper is covered by white sheep, with one exception: there's also a single BLACK sheep.
The auctioneers, Sotheby's, had estimated the value at fifty to ninety thousand dollars.
Joanna Osborne is one of the original designers of the jumper -- and it was she who found it.
She's been speaking to Newshour's Tim Franks.
