Overview
Her Majesty the Queen breathed her last at 6.30 p.m., surrounded by her children and grand-children. With this notice, pinned to the entrance gate of Osborne House, Queen Victoria's doctors announced the death of the most powerful woman in the world, who had sat on her throne and ruled through more than six decades. Her rule had seen her kingdom spread to become the world's biggest empire, had seen massive change in society and leaps forward in technology. It is little surprise that the death of one who had ruled for all of many people's lives created chaos, shock and mass outpourings of grief across the country. Author and researcher Stewart Richards has delved through the archives to put together the definitive view of Victoria in her final days, through the immediate reaction and aftermath of her death, to the state funeral of February 2, 1901. Based entirely on fascinating first-hand accounts, Curtain Down at Her Majesty's offers a truly unique insight into the events of that tumultuous few days.
