A George Cross belonging to a female secret agent has sold at auction for a record price.

However, the medal, given posthumously to Second World War operative Violette Szabo will remain in the public eye.

It was bought by Lord Ashcroft for £260,000 and will go on display in the Imperial War Museum.
