Caption

'The Naval Contingent Crossing London Bridge into Southwark', London, 1897. 'Both Processions on Jubilee day - the Colonial and the Royal - were headed by a few Life Guards, and a strong naval detachment. In the case of the Royal Procession the bluejackets dragged after them six naval guns - no light labour, but performed with an ease and smartness which won universal admiration.' Queen Victoria (1819-1901) celebrated her Diamond Jubilee (60th anniversary of her reign - June 1837-June 1897). Her reign of 63 years and seven months was longer than that of any previous British monarch. Here crowds line the streets to watch the military parade. From Sixty Years A Queen: The Story of Her Majesty's Reign, by Sir Herbert Maxwell. [Harmsworth Bros, Limited, London, c1897]
