Son and daughter of Titanic survivor turned down an offer to sell father's letter

The son and daughter of a Titanic survivor turned down an offer to sell their father's 'extraordinary' letter that made it off the ship - despite the eye-watering sum from an Antiques Roadshow expert. Antiques valuer Hilary Kay met with the children of Sidney Daniels, who was hired as a plate washer on the Titanic at the age of 18, to discuss the value of a family letter. When the ship began going down, Sidney was instructed to help guests out of their cabins and into life jackets. And when the time came for him to leap off the vessel, a handwritten letter to his family remained intact in his uniform pocket. More than 100 years on from the nautical tragedy, Hilary spoke to Sidney's children about his story.
