Default Huge blue butterfly

Fluttering around the garden and one of the green houses yesterday, at least
5 people saw a very large sky blue butterfly. By very large, it was
described as being about 5 or 6" across! Even allowing for the exaggeration
of memory and reducing that to 3 or 4", it's still pretty big. Does anyone
know what that might be or whether we have an escapee from the Buckfastleigh
butterfly farm? And how far can butterflies roam, anyway? Any (polite)
suggestions would be welcomed as to ID.
