More about this scene

One of the great city institutions, possibly the Mansion House, is hung with swags of flowrers and garlands for the great occasion of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee procession in 1897. The porch has a decorative pelmet embroidered with a message celebrating the sixty glorious years of her reign. A crowd has gathered outside, anxious to catch a glimpse of their sovereign and to catch a few words of the ceremony.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I still can't work this out. Although a memorial to Prince Albert was discussed in 1861 (When Albert died) by the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House, it was taken over by the Palace, and as you all know the memorial was erected opposite the Albert Hall.
