Légende

'Lighting The Signal Beacon At Malvern', c1897. The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria was officially celebrated on 22 June 1897 to mark the 60th anniversary of her accession on 20 June 1837. 'Hill answered to hill until at last all the uplands of Great Britain were alight, from the tiny summits of Scilly in the West to the Isle of Thanet in the East, from the Isle of Wight in the South to Campril Fells in Lincolnshire. Mariners who approached our coasts say the the light of the fires on cape and headland was most impressive. Over all happily the atmosphere wore the softened mask of the most glorious of summer evenings'. From "The Queen's Resolve and Her Doubly Royal Reign of Sixty Years", by Charles Bullock, B.D.
