Liam Neeson's outfit in the film Michael Collins sold for almost 10 times its expected value in an auction of movie memorabilia.

The lot, including the long green military coat with brass buttons, leather belt and gun holsters, along with other garments worn by the Ballymena-born actor, was expected to sell for around £350 (€400).

But an anonymous buyer forked out £3,120 (€3,700) for the collection in the sale by Bonhams in Knightsbridge, London.

Most of the items are inscribed with the actor's name as well as the date of the filming.
