A Victoria Cross medal awarded to a hero soldier from Norfolk is expected to fetch up to £130,000 when it is sold at auction.

Incredibly, the same medal was then used by actor David Niven who needed a real one when starring in the film Carrington.

The VC medal, the highest award for gallantry, was given to Arthur Cross after a courageous assault on enemy forces in the First World War.
