The Prince of Wales in Halifax, [Canada] - the triumphal procession passing the Children's Gallery in the Grand Parade - from a sketch by our special artist, G.H. Andrews, 1860. The future King Edward VII visits North America. 'There assembled, and ranged in order on a rising platform, were more than three thousand children, in neat dresses, and with excited, happy faces, who, when the Prince arrived, rose like a great wave, and threw all their young souls into their voices, as they cheered their future King, and invoked the Almighty, in a new and appropriate version of the National Anthem, to bless the Royal mother and her son. The Prince here halted while the anthem lasted, and he and all with him made no effort to conceal the high satisfaction afforded by such a spectacle. This well-planned exhibition was a feature in the reception which will outlive all the others; for until generation after generation descended from those choristers have died out that scene will be a household tradition, and grey-headed grandsires will remember with pleasure and relate with pride the part they took in greeting in auld lang syne the Heir Apparent to the British crown'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
