The Queen's Visit to the East End of London: Triumphal Arch 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...At the City boundary a large triumphal arch, forty feet high, spanning the roadway, had been erected. It was handsomely decorated with flags, and bore on the Aldgate side the inscription, "Welcome to our Queen"...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.
