Bruce Lee's coat he wore in his final film has sold for £47,000 at an auction in Hong Kong.

The martial arts legend donned the jacket in 1973 during the shoot for Game of Death, a film that was never completed after Lee died later that year, aged 32. It was also the coat taht Lee wore to the premiere of his biggest hit, Enter the Dragon.

The garment fetched more than nine times its estimate.

Billed as the largest ever auction of Bruce Lee memorabilia, 12 other items belonging to the action hero went under the hammer, including a personalised business card and a letter to a friend, in which he discussed his work on cult show The Green Hornet.
