Queen Victoria at the Great Volunteer Review in Windsor Park, 1881. Review of more than fifty thousand Volunteer Rifles. '1. "The Queen's Coming!"; 2. The Royal Party; 3. Field Post Office and Telegraph; 4. Refreshment booths...The troops were continually arriving, by frequent railway trains, and marching into Windsor Park, from six o'clock in the morning till three in the afternoon...The Queen was in an open carriage drawn by four greys with out-riders, and was accompanied by the Princess of Wales and the Crown Princess of Prussia...The march past, which lasted an hour and forty minutes, beginning at half-past five, was effected without the slightest hitch or a moment's delay. The combined bands of the brigade of Guards and the combined bands of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers played the troops past. The defile was headed by the Horse Guards staff, followed by the Duke of Cambridge, in the full dress of a Field Marshal...A general order has been issued by the Duke of Cambridge expressing the pleasure with which the Queen received so large a body of her volunteer forces at Windsor on Saturday, and her Majesty's entire satisfaction with the soldier-like appearance and bearing of all ranks'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
