This year marks the 50th anniversary of an unusual summer for British sport, when two traditional front-page headliners knocked more conventional back-page stars out of the spotlight: Prime Minister Edward Heath, who skippered Morning Cloud and Britain to victory in the Admiral’s Cup during the summer recess, and the daughter of the Queen, Princess Anne, whose triumph in the European Three-Day Event Championship in September propelled her within three months to being elected by the public as BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
Remarkably the Princess’s victory at Burghley came in only her second full-scale three-day event, two months after an abdominal operation and not even three weeks after her 21st birthday for which she was obliged to fulfil numerous private and public duties.
