Winning eBayer Ends Up At Palace

 A Dad went to pick up a freezer he bought on eBay, and ended up at Buckingham Palace.

Paul Martin, 33, put the seller’s postcode in his sat-nav and was stunned to discover the collection address was the Royal Mews.

He and his three children then received a private tour and they even got to sit in the Queen’s Gold State Coach.

House husband Paul, who lives in Essex, had agreed to pay £88 for the freezer but the owner was ‘cagey’ about the address.  Paul said; “My jaw dropped as we arrived at the gates.  I gave my name and they let me in.

“It turns out the man we bought it off is in charge of the Queen’s horses and carriages.  My daughter Keira sat in the Queen’s coach and you could see where they put the crown.”
