On This Day In Royal History . 22 June 1897 . Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee procession through London to St Paul’s Cathedral for a Diamond Jubilee service. . 👑 ‘No one ever, I believe, has met with such an ovation as was given to me, passing through those six miles of streets… so the crowds were quite indescribable, and their enthusiasm truly marvellous and deeply touching. The cheering was quite deafening, and every face seemed to be filled with real joy’ wrote Queen Victoria following her Diamond Jubilee procession through London on 22 June 1897 in glorious sunshine, popularly dubbed ‘the Queen’s weather’. . ◼ Since the 78-year-old Queen was too frail to mount the steps of St Paul’s, she remained in her carriage in front of the cathedral whilst the religious ceremony took place. . ◼ Throughout the day, new technology was employed. A stand was erected on Whitehall equipped with telephones to allow descriptions of the event direct to newspapers and other interested parties, and the Queen pressed the button that sent a telegraph message across the world: ‘From my heart, I thank my beloved people. May God bless them!’ . ◼ A very poor-quality cinematograph record was made of the proceedings, which the Queen considered both ‘very wonderful’ and ‘a little hazy & too rapid’. . ◼ That night, 2,500 beacons were lit around the country, and the Queen’s dinner table was adorned with 60,000 orchid blossoms in different varieties brought from every corner of the Empire. When she drove to Windsor on 24 June she was, for the first time in her life, showered with confetti, at which she swung her parasol with some vigour. . . . #DiamondJubilee #QueenVictoria #Victorian #VictorianEra #HouseofHanover #HerMajesty #Royalty #Monarchy #History #BritishMonarchy #GodSaveTheQueen #Portrait #StPaulsCathedral #D22Jun #Royalhistory #Londonhistory #Historiclondon #london🇬🇧 #Jubilee #TheQueen #Monarch #housesofparliament #horseguardsparade #westminster #westminsterbridge #onthisday #Thisdayinhistory #onthisday #historyinpictures #otd #Vintagephotographs (at St. Paul’s Cathedral) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQbOxvojIzY/?utm_medium=tumblr
