The Queen's Visit to the Riviera: Her Majesty's departure from Nice Railway Station for Cimiez, 1898. Queen Victoria on holiday in the South of France. 'At Nice, which was reached on Sunday afternoon, the band of the 3rd Infantry Regiment played the British National Anthem, and the Prince and Princess of Roumania, Sir James Harris, the British Consul, and other notabilities were in attendance. A landau, preceded by an escort of six mounted gendarmes, flanked by a Captain and a Lieutenant of Artillery, and followed by two detachments of artillerymen, drove her Majesty rapidly to Cimiez, where the buglers of the 6th Alpine Chasseurs played "God Save the Queen," and a wonderful array of roses, orchids, and almond blossom, the gift of the Nice municipality, scented and embellished the royal apartments.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898
