"Remembering Viis: A Glimpse into the Legacy of Edward VII" Step back in time to Brightlingsea, Essex, where a young Edward VII first set sail on his beloved yacht Britannia. The sea breeze carried him towards Sandringham, Morris dancing along the way. In May 1910, London's Westminster Hall became a solemn stage as Edward VII's coffin rested on a raised platform. People from all walks of life gathered to pay their respects to the late king who had left an indelible mark on British history. Beyond his regal duties, Edward VII was also known for his passion for horse racing and triumphs on the track. His victories were celebrated with great fervor by adoring fans. The New North Wing of the British Museum stands as a testament to King Edward VII's patronage of arts and culture. The galleries within showcase treasures that he collected during his reign. Even centuries before his time, King Henry VII conducted trials of weights and measures at the exchequer – an enduring legacy that would shape commerce in England for generations to come. As we delve further into Viis' story, we cannot forget his grand procession during the Great Durbar in Delhi, India in 1903. This iconic moment captured both imperial splendor and cultural diversity.
