The Queen's Visit to the East End of London: Trophy in Whitechapel-Road, 1876. Creator: Unknown
The Queen's Visit to the East End of London: Trophy in Whitechapel-Road, 1876. Her Majesty went...to open the new wing of the London Hospital buildings in Whitechapel-road. It was a high festival for the East End of London...The obelisk at the junction of the Whitechapel and Commercial roads was entirely surrounded by a large pavilion containing a mass of shrubs and evergreens, and in the centre was a trophy surmounted by flags and other decorations with a high mast, from which the Royal standard was run up on her Majesty's approach...The word "Welcome" occurred repeatedly, sometimes with the addition of "Come again, " and "Thanks for this visit." The strains of "God Save the Queen, " played by each band in succession as the regiments "presented arms, " were followed by cheers...Where the crowds were most dense the cheers were most hearty'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the jubilant atmosphere during Queen Victoria's visit to the East End of London in 1876. The monarch graced the occasion to open the new wing of the London Hospital buildings located at Whitechapel-road. The East End of London was abuzz with excitement, transforming into a grand celebration in honor of the Queen's arrival. The obelisk at the junction of Whitechapel and Commercial roads stood proudly, adorned with a large pavilion of lush shrubs and evergreens. Atop the obelisk, a trophy was erected, bedecked with flags and decorations, and a high mast bearing the Royal standard. The pavilion was inscribed with the warm welcome messages, "Welcome," "Come again," and "Thanks for this visit," reflecting the deep affection and gratitude of the East End community. As Her Majesty approached, the strains of "God Save the Queen" played by each band in succession filled the air, followed by thunderous cheers from the dense crowds. The regiments presented arms, adding to the grandeur of the moment. The photograph encapsulates the unity, pride, and enthusiasm of the East End community during this memorable visit by Queen Victoria.
