Royal Treasure Hunt was
‘GOLDEN HIND’.
In the original picture and
story published in Weekend
magazine on August 10, there
was panic spreading amongthe Beefeaters at the Tower of
London because one of the
keys to the Jewel House
was missing.
It turned out that one of the
Tower’s famous ravens had
flown off with it, to sit high upin the rigging of the Golden
Hind, anchored on the Thames
just beside the Tower.
Look closely at the picture in
Weekend magazine, and you’ll

nest of the ship.LAST

By Miles DilworthCrowning success: Beefeaters hand a happy Mrs Noakes her prizeOur f irst Treasure
Hunt winner has a
right royal reward!
ANNE NoAkEs was enjoying
what she thought was an ordinary
saturday morning, pottering
about doing odd jobs at home.
Then she received the phone call
that told her she had won the first
£10,000 prize in the Daily Mail’s
£50,000 Royal Treasure Hunt.
‘It was such a big surprise,’ she
said. ‘I haven’t really got my mind
around it yet.’
The 79-year-old has been solving
puzzles in the paper for years and
her persistence finally paid off at
the weekend after she cracked the
clues to reveal last week’s answer.
Mrs Noakes solved the six riddles
in last week’s papers and
unscrambled an anagram to reveal
the answer associated with the
reign of Elizabeth I, which turned
out to be ‘Golden Hind’.
The pensioner, from Cobham,
surrey, said she almost thought it
was a ‘wind up’ when she got the
call to tell her she’d won. she chose
to receive cash rather than jewels.
‘You enter these competitions
with the idea of maybe winning,but you never expect to be the
one!’ she said. she said she plans
to invest the money, but may have
a treat or two in store for her three
sons and five grandchildren.
‘My middle son is away in Amer-
ica at the moment but when he
gets back we’ll definitely go out
for a few nice meals,’ she said.
‘I’ve told my close family. They
couldn’t believe it. They were
quite impressed with Gran win-
ning something. I might need to
replenish the wine cellar soon!’
Launched last week, our Royal
Treasure Hunt is running for threeweeks, with a total of £50,000 up
for grabs. Readers can win £10,000
in jewels or cash each week, plus
the name of every reader who
