"God Save the Queen" Queen Victoria Arriving At St. Paul's Cathedral on the Occasion of the Diamond Jubilee Thanksgiving Service, 22nd June, 1897 Painted by John Charlton, 1899 The Royal Collection |
Though she infrequently appeared in public after the death of Prince Albert, she seemed to enjoy the celebrations in her honor. In 1899, she commissioned this painting which recreates her ceremonial arrival at the cathedral. The painting by John Charlton shows the epic scale of the event.
