The Unveiling by the Princess of Wales of a portrait of Lord Colville of Culross..., 1898. '...at the Honourable Artillery Company's Headquarters, Finsbury: Lord Colville returning thanks...the Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Princess, visited the headquarters of the Honourable Artillery Company, of which he is Captain-General, to unveil a portrait of Lord Colville of Culross, who forty years ago was its Colonel...the many visitors included, besides, the Earl and Countess Carrington, Mr. A. Cope (the painter of the portrait), and Lord Colville of Culross himself, with whom were his wife and many members of his family. The portrait was unveiled by the Princess; and a number of speeches followed, including one from the Prince, who said that ever since he was a boy he had known Lord Colville, who had entered the Queen's Household in 1852, "and I can assure you," he added, "that the feelings we entertain for Lord Colville are not less cordial than those entertained by this Honourable Artillery Company." Lord Colville, in a speech of hearty thanks for the honour done him by his old comrades and their new recruits, said he would continue as long as he lived to take the liveliest interest in the welfare of the Company'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
