The Queen's Visit to the East End of London: Trophy in Whitechapel-Road, 1876. 'Her Majesty went...to open the new wing of the London Hospital buildings in Whitechapel-road. It was a high festival for the East End of London...The obelisk at the junction of the Whitechapel and Commercial roads was entirely surrounded by a large pavilion containing a mass of shrubs and evergreens, and in the centre was a trophy surmounted by flags and other decorations with a high mast, from which the Royal standard was run up on her Majesty's approach...The word "Welcome" occurred repeatedly, sometimes with the addition of "Come again," and "Thanks for this visit." The strains of "God Save the Queen," played by each band in succession as the regiments "presented arms," were followed by cheers...Where the crowds were most dense the cheers were most hearty'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
