Geocache Description:

Primrose Day was a special day in memory of British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli (Lord Beaconsfield), who died on 19 April 1881.

Queen Victoria sent a wreath of primroses to Disraeli's funeral with a note stating that they were "his favourite flowers".

Some of his quotes:

"Bore: one who has the power of speech but not the capacity for conversation."

"The hare-brained chatter of irresponsible frivolity."

"The most dangerous strategy is to jump a chasm in two leaps."

I'll leave you with one thought: From reading the note people assumed that the 'his' referred to Disraeli, however, it is now thought that Victoria may have been referring to her late husband, Prince Albert.
