A 77-year-old slice of cake from Queen Elizabeth IPs wedding to Prince Philip, was auctioned for $2,800.

The slice of cake was packaged in a box bearing then-Princess Elizabeth`s silver insignia and included a printed letter from the bride and a decorative doily.

The piece of cake had been given to Marion Polson, a housekeeper at Holyrood House in Edinburgh, Scotland, as a gift from the royal couple.

Auction house Reeman Dansie announced the piece of cake, part of a 500-pound baked dessert served at the November 20, 1947, wedding, was auctioned for $2,831.•
