During Stacey ( Lacey Turner) and Martin Fowler's ( James Bye) wedding reception, Bobby Beale (Eliot Carrington) confesses that he murdered (see Who Killed Lucy Beale?) his half-sister, Lucy Beale ( Hetti Bywater).
The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria was officially celebrated on 22 June 1897 to mark the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession on 20 June 1837. Queen Victoria was the first British monarch ever to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee. Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife and The Duke of Fife, the Queen's granddaughter and grandson-in-law Another distinctive feature of Canadian festivities was their focus on children. There were frequently separate children's Jubilee parades from the "main" Jubilee processions. A "well-disciplined army" of 4,000 children from public schools and an additional 2,000 pupils from private Catholic schools marched in Winnipeg. This scene was repeated in cities across the country. [7] One of the largest celebrations took place in Ottawa, where almost 10,000 school children marched to Parliament Hill, all carrying flags. [1] Arts Minister John Glen has placed a temporary export bar on an extraordinary sculpture of Queen Victoria to provide an opportunity to keep it in the country.
After learning that Kathy Beale ( Gillian Taylforth) provided Ben Mitchell ( Max Bowden) with a false alibi, Ian Beale ( Adam Woodyatt) smashes up the bar area.
Description:Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were interested in modern technology and innovations, and we can see this in some of the features and collections at Osborne, like the house’s central heating system and the installation of telephones on the estate in 1878. Leonida Caldesi, The Royal Family at Osborne, 27 May 1857, salted paper print, Royal Collection, RCIN 2906244 < https://www.rct.uk/collection/2906244/the-royal-family-at-osborne> [accessed 28 November 2021]. This monumental portrait bust of the Queen-Empress is not only an important icon made at the apogee of British power but a complex and hugely sympathetic image. It is also a tour de force of marble carving, a medium which Gilbert rarely employed. As to the coins generally, they are singularly poor in design and feeble in execution. We have many die-sinkers in Birmingham who would have been ashamed to turn them out; and if the Mint can do nothing better, some of our own medalists might well be permitted to try their hands, with the certain result of redeeming the credit of the national coinage [...] unless a change is made sixpences will be electro-gilt and passed off as half-sovereigns by wholesale, for there is no appreciable difference between the two coins, either in weight or appearance [...] the worst thing of all about the coinage is, however, the portrait of the Queen; which is neither valuable as an accurate representation of Her Majesty, nor dignified if it is to be taken as an idealised effigy; while the odd-looking little crown, which seems to be falling off, renders the portrait absolutely ludicrous. [38] It’s thanks to Queen Victoria that we can enjoy visiting her birthplace of Kensington Palace, which she opened to the public in 1899.Victoria's uncle, George IV was born in 1762, the eldest son of George III. He spent a long time as ‘king in waiting’, acting for nine years as Prince Regent. When he finally acceded to the throne in 1821, he had become spoiled, gluttonous, profligate, highly unpopular and ridiculed in the popular press.

Description:The royal children spent many happy times at Osborne and we can still see objects relating to their childhoods on the estate today. One of the more unusual ways that Queen Victoria kept souvenirs of her children’s childhood was by commissioning marble copies of their forearms and feet . This example is the forearm of her sixth child and fourth daughter, Princess Louise (1848–1939).Privy Purse bills and receipts in the Royal Archives evidence the extent of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s commissioning of photographers during this period.
