Pall Mall Gazette: Thursday 8th January 1885

The Coming of Age of Prince Edward: The Festivities at Sandringham: (by Telegraph from our correspondents): Sandringham, Thursday Morning: The programme of today’s proceedings includes, beside the presentation of addresses from the corporations of Norwich, Lynn and Cambridge, and from the Grammar School of Lynn, entertainment, for all the working men on the estate and their wives, Sanger’s Circus – the elephants and camels belonging to which being lodged in the villages round considerably astonished the rustics last night, and a dinner to everyone employed on the Prince’s property … Lynn and every village around is full of people, besides the number of strangers domiciled in every Norfolk country seat. One family arrived yesterday from Cornwall, and a gallant colonel, living ten miles the other side of Norwich is going to drive his wife and two daughters fifty five miles tonight. The difficulty of getting accommodation for the guests is however, nothing compared with that of finding stabling for the horses. Tickets have been issued to the guests for their horses so far as the Royal Stables and those of the neighbouring farms will afford accommodation, but there will still be many unable to find shelter. The scene in the new ballroom will be one of surprising interest. Besides the house party, the high sheriff, the Lord-Lieutenant, the Norfolk members, and the clergy and the country gentry, with their ladies, there will be the officers of the 4th Hussar stationed at Norwich and of the Prince of Wales’s Own Norfolk Artillery Militia; while the University will be represented by two heads of houses, the Masters of Magdalen and Caius and the vice-masters of Trinity. From the District of Newfoundland will be present Judge Pinsent and Mrs. Pinsent, and among others honoured with invitations besides Norfolk people are Lord Rendlesham, Miss Thelluson, Lord Justice and Lady Lindley, Lady Augustus Hervey, the Duke and Duchess De Marino, Lord Wesbury …
