Much of the decoration and the church's stained glass in the east window was designed by Charles Eamer Kempe whom King Edward VII had also commissioned in 1903 to create a stained glass window at Buckingham Palace for his eldest son, Prince Albert, Duke of Clarence.[10][11] The church's silver altar and reredos, made by the silversmiths Barkentin & Krall, were presented to Queen Alexandra by the American department store owner Rodman Wanamaker as a tribute to Edward VII. He also presented the Queen with the silver pulpit and a silver 17th-century Spanish processional cross. Also of note are the Florentine marble font and Greek font dating to the 9th century.[8][12]
Many memorials to royal family members and relations can be seen at Sandringham Church and in the churchyard Prince John (1905–1919) is buried.
After the death of George V in January 1936, the King's coffin lay in state overnight in the church with an honour guard of estate workers. On the following morning, 23 January, the coffin was taken in a 2½ mile (4 kilometre) procession from the church to Wolferton railway station, with Edward VIII and his brothers walking behind and the rest of the royal family in carriages.[13] After George VI's death in February 1952, the body of the King was placed in the church for two days prior to lying in state at Westminster Hall.[14]
Fashion in the 80s was about strong colors, big sleeves and velvet too. Princess Diana added a bold fashion statement on that 1985 night she attended the premiere of Back to the Future in London. One of her most beloved looks too.
With a plum crushed velvet gown and a long V low back, signed by her beloved Catherine Walker, Diana added an extra touch by wearing her pearls with a knot also in her back. A brilliant and unforgettable fashion statement that confirms how savvy Diana was in her public appearances. She knew the photographers would be behind her when she was meeting the stars (Steven Spielberg among them) so she was aware of what she wanted people to look at. Genius. Beautiful and brilliant.
The Catherine Walker burgundy crushed velvet evening gown was also worn by Diana for the state visit to Australia.
The dress was included at the the ‘Fit For a Princess’ auction on March 15, 2013 in London, amongst other 9 dresses.
As we can see, without the pearl necklace it’s still pretty, but not as perfect.
Recently actor Michael J. Fox recalled how nervous he was to be sitting close to the princess. A weird date in which he was double nervous to be desperate to pee, but couldn’t leave or turn his back to Diana. A night he says, he’ll never forget.
