Printed Service Paper for a Memorial Service for 14th December 1877, with the Hymns and Anthems, 4 pages 4to., Frogmore, 14th December

On the 14th December each year the Royal Family held a memorial service at Frogmore for Prince Albert who had died on the 14th December 1861 and for Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent who had died the same year.
The Royal Mausoleum was built in 1862 to house the tomb of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The burial ground lies on the Frogmore Estate, part of Windsor Home Park. Many members of the Royal Family, generally except for sovereigns and their consorts, have been interred on the Royal Burial Ground, among them Queen Victoria's children (Princess Helena, 1846–1923, Prince Arthur, 1850–1942 and Princess Louise, 1848–1939) and one sovereign, Edward VIII, 1894–1972. In the adjacent Frogmore Gardens stands the mausoleum of Queen Victoria's mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.
