It was suggested that an Illustrated Programme of the Royal Jubilee Procession should be produced and sold THE QUEEN'S COMMEMORATION for the benefit of the Prince of Wales's Hospital Fundj this has been an arduous undertaking, but many formidable THE unique and magnificent spectacle which will be presented by the streets of London on the 22nd June, difficulties vanished like magic when it was known that Her Majesty the Queen was graciously taking great 1897, is the result of a natural impulse in the hearts of the people of the British Empire to do honour to their inter est in the Prince's Hospital Fund. It will be remembered that at a meeting at Marlborough House H.R.H. 'beloved Sovereign. the Prince of Wales said:—" On informing the Queen that a meeting of the General Council would take place Sixty years ago the daughter of the Duke of Kent ascended the throne of Great Britain and ; for sixty to-day, she has empowered me to say that though up till now she has not desired that any suggestion from her years as Queen, and as Queen and Empress, she has occupied that exalted station. At the very beginning of her should take the place of any given purpose to commemorate her , yet she rejoices to hear what a reign she obtained, and throughout the whole of it she has maintained, a firm hold of the affectionate loyalty of her large sum has already been subscribed to the London Hospital Fund, and wishes the Fund every success." The subjects. And not of her own people only, but of all peoples. Throughout the civilised world no name is held knowledge oj the fact, and the known sympathy and deep interest of His Royal Highness in the Fund which bears in higher reverence than that of Victoria the Queen and Victoria the woman, his name, caused those in authority readily to give the information required by the large staff of artists, who have been A thousand claims to reverence closed actively employed in sketching from life every detail of uniform and costume, so that the pictures should be correct.

Even at this time, when, as she very well knew, the people of these islands would be to dedicate charging only the actual outlays incurred. to her the costliest of memorials, the Queen gave it to be understood that what would best please her would be The result is before the reader, and it is earnestly hoped by those who have been instrumental in endeavouring the relief of human suffering. She chose for her memorial the hospital ward rather than the statue ; the Jubilee to make this Programme of lasting interest to the public at home and abroad, that it may be the means of materially monument of Victoria is the blessing of suffering men, women and children. assisting the beneficent object, which, we know, is so thoroughly acceptable to Her Majesty as commemorating her And so it is that the metropolis of the Empire now presents a spectacle so remarkable. From ,Trom DiamondJubilee,. Africa, from , the Sons of the Empire have come to join with the people of Great Britain and Ireland It is hoped that this Programme may not only form an illustrated guide to the Procession, but also a memento in the.homage paid to their Sovereign. Those who witness the splendid spectacle in which this homage has of an eventful day., worthy to be preserved culminated are not likely ever to forget it. It is hoped that this little book, devoted to the cause which the Queen has favoured, may serve in after years to call to remembrance the stirring and glorious scene of June 22nd, 1897.
