1897 Anniversary Celebration Celebrations Horseback Jubilee Pageantry Passing Procession Reign Roberts Slides Tradition Whitehall
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white lantern slide captures the moment during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1897, as Lord Roberts passes through Whitehall on horseback. Queen Victoria, dressed in her regal attire, sits atop a carriage in the background, waving to the cheering crowds. Lord Roberts, a renowned British military leader, is seen here in full military regalia, riding proudly on his horse, surrounded by his aides and escorted by the British military. The Diamond Jubilee, marking the sixtieth anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign, was a grand spectacle of pageantry and tradition. London was adorned with decorations, banners, and flags, and the streets were filled with people from all walks of life, eager to celebrate the long and historic reign of their monarch. The late 19th century was a time of great change and progress, and the Diamond Jubilee celebrations served as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continued to thrive in Britain. This photograph, taken during the procession through Whitehall, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pomp of the occasion, and the enduring respect and loyalty of the British people towards their monarch. Lord Roberts, a key figure in the British military during the late 19th century, had recently returned from the Second Boer War, where he had achieved significant victories against the Boer rebels. His presence in the procession was a testament to the military might and prowess of the British Empire, and added to the overall grandeur of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
