Jan. 01, 1959 - IT'S FUN TO BE YOUNG: Pedalling his cycle into Sloane Square yesterday wearing pale blue pyjamas came Lord Valentine Thynne, third son of the Marquis of Bath. Close behind him was Greville Howard, 17-year old cousin of the Earl of Suffolk, in gold pyjamas made from curtain material, and a crash helmet bearing the skull and crossbones. Four other cyclists, in a variety of nightshirts and pyjamas, followed. At the end of the procession came a white convertible Rolls Royce loaded with cheering debs. There was 18-year old Gloria Kindersley, whose name has been linked recently with Lord Milford Haven, Katie Drew-Wilkinson, in a pink dressing gown, Deidre Hamilton-Hill and Serena Gillilan. After cycling to The Grenadier public house for drinks, they started a part at Miss Kindersley's house in Randor-walk, Chelsea. Mr. Howard said: ''We intend to make this bicycle ride from Kings-road to The Grenadier an annual event, and if it catches on, we'll possibly do it for charity''. Photo Shows:- The cyclists are Mim Scala and 17-year old Greville Howard.
