EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the formal and grand procession of Queen Victoria as she makes her way through Westminster Palace to open Parliament in 1886. Dressed in her regal attire, the monarch is seen holding her train as she is escorted by dignitaries and members of the royal household. The scene takes place in the historic Palace of Westminster, home to the House of Lords and the House of Commons, where the Queen's speech outlining her government's agenda for the upcoming session is traditionally delivered. The year was 1886, a time when the monarchy and its customs continued to play a significant role in British constitutional life. Queen Victoria, who had ascended to the throne in 1837, was a beloved and respected figurehead, and her presence at the opening of Parliament was an important symbol of continuity and tradition. The image shows the Queen being accompanied by a long procession of horse-drawn carriages and footmen, as well as members of the military and other dignitaries. The scene is reminiscent of the grandeur and formality of the Victorian era, with its elaborate costumes, ceremonial traditions, and sense of pageantry. The train that carried Queen Victoria to the Palace of Westminster was a symbol of her power and authority, and the act of holding her train as she dismounted from the carriage was a sign of respect and deference. The scene captured in this photograph is a testament to the enduring traditions and customs of the British monarchy, which continue to be an integral part of the country's political and cultural heritage.
