A medal awarded to a dog for urinating on an incendiary bomb to extinguish it in the Blitz was found during a house clearance. Great Dane Juliana took action when the device fell through the roof of her owner’s home in 1941. In 1944, she got a second Blue Cross Medal for alerting customers to a fire in her master’s shop. Auctioneers found one medal and a portrait, which carried a plaque describing Juliana’s brave deeds, in a Bristol house. The two items sold together for £1,100, more than 18 times the £60 pre-sale estimate. Philip Taubenheim, auctioneer at Wotton Auction Rooms, Glos, said: “These items tell a fantastic story.

It turns out there is such a thing as double bananas – and this man has proof. Richard Preece, 33, found the extremely rare fruit in a bunch of bananas he had bought in his weekly shop in Asda. The father-of-three – who has completed charity fun runs dressed as Bananaman – was a little shocked at the bizarre discovery. His wife, Samantha, said: ‘It is the most bizarre coincidence. ‘It was just in a bunch of ordinary bananas so it was a bit of a shock. ‘When Sam opened it up none of us could quite believe it. I never even knew that you could get double bananas. ‘I showed my kids and they were quite amazed as they had never seen anything like it before. ‘When I put it on Facebook I wasn’t expecting the reaction that I got with the amount of innuendos and other implications people were commenting.’ In case you were wondering, the double banana tasted no different to an ordinary one, according to children Beatrice, nine, and Felix, six. ‘I thought my days...
