The Volunteer Review in Hyde Park: general view, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The Volunteer Review in Hyde Park [London]: general view, 1864. '...the Prince and Princess of Wales came not only to witness the affair, but his Royal Highness took an active part in it as commander of his own brigade. This circumstance, with the general popularity of the young couple, as well as the growing interest that is felt in the volunteer movement drew together a...[large] multitude of all ranks and classes of the people...[The engraving shows] the Prince [future King Edward VII] with his immediate companions as they...passed in front of the seats reserved for spectators... As soon as the Royal party arrived at the flagstaff, the volunteers gave the usual salute and the united bands of the Household Brigade played the Rational Anthem. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by Prince Louis and the Duke of Cambridge, rode along the front and rear of the assembled troops, inspecting the different corps with considerable interest, and when he had arrived at the Hon. Artillery Company his Royal Highness placed himself at the head of the corps, of which he is Colonel. The Hon. Artillery Company led off the Prince of Wales's Brigade ...The first battalion of the Hon. Artillery Company was warmly cheered'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

A Regal Affair - The Volunteer Review in Hyde Park, 1864
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous occasion in British history - the volunteer review of Prince Albert's Brigade at Hyde Park. In June 1864, the Prince and Princess of Wales (the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) attended this grand event, with His Royal Highness taking an active role as commander-in-chief of his own brigade. The royal couple's presence drew a massive crowd from all walks of life to witness the spectacle.
The photograph shows the Prince riding along the front lines, inspecting various corps with great interest. He is flanked by Prince Louis and Duke Cambridge, while the united bands of the Household Brigade play "God Save Our Gracious Queen". The Honorable Artillery Company leads off His Royal Highness's brigade, earning warm applause from onlookers.
This historic moment was immortalized in an engraving published in the Illustrated London News. It serves as a testament to the volunteer movement and its growing popularity during this era of British history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when royalty and commoner alike came together to celebrate patriotism and national pride.
