About this item
Bexhill Observer, 19 May 1988. Front-page item reporting that sixteen-year-old Victor Sanders, named by his father as his successor as 'King of the Witches', had been 'released from office' by elders of the movement, who believed nobody was ready to take on the task. It trails the centre-page report on the funeral and wake, 'The vacant throne', items 188 to 190, as 'a funeral with a difference'. The claim that Sanders named Victor comes from Kevin Carlyon's account, item 183.
Bexhill Museum item 187. Bexhill Observer cutting held in the Bexhill Observer archive at Bexhill Museum.
Shown in UNSEEN: The Alex Sanders Archive at Bexhill Museum, Part Three, The Vacant Throne (6 September 2026), presented by Julian Porter of Bexhill Museum and hosted by Sharon Day for Alexandrian Witchcraft.
