Slightly damp but fun 22 mile circuit round South Liverpool.
Took in Camp Hill and bumped (not literally) into Queen Victoria moored at the Pier Head.

Ornamental lamp on the 1887 Golden Jubilee gates at the entrance to Victoria Park in the west of Glasgow.
These gates were supplied and installed by the Walter Macfarlane & Co Foundry and were paid for by "The Ladies of Partick".

Dear my fellow Canadians,
Take this holiday to spend with family and enjoy the end of spring and coming summer. Also, spare a thought for the people subjected to the peak of the “brutal expansion” of the British Empire at the end of the 19th Century including the beginning of the Indian Residential School system and the hanging of Louis Riel all done in Queen Victoria’s name in the new Dominion of Canada.

There are quite a few legitimate descendants of #queenvictoria around - although many of them no longer have royal status. It would not take long to find someone.
One of the many random things that are included in 'what I do for a living' ;-)
From 2008; the main thing I remember about this was the chaos in the gallery; no-one knew what they were going to do next.

I may be the only one who watched the “Victoria” TV series who was more fascinated by the Prince Ernst/Harriet, Duchess of Sutherland star-crossed love subplot than I was by the main story about Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. Ernst’s syphillis, Harriet’s emotional infidelity to her husband and repression of their true feelings are so much more compelling than watching Victoria constantly getting pregnant while leading an empire. #queenvictoria #subplot
This morning at the gates to Victoria Park in Glasgow.
These gates were erected to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria by the 'Ladies of Partick' in 1887.
They were originally situated on Balshagray Avenue but were moved to their current position in 1963 when the Clyde Tunnel (which borders the eaatern edge of the park) was being built

The House of Hanover is a royal house that first ruled Hanover and then Great Britain from 1714 to 1901. The British Hanoverians began with George I when he succeeded the last of the Stuart monarchs, Queen Anne of Great Britain (r. 1702-1714), who had no children.

Queen Victoria of Great Britain (r. 1837-1901) was one of the most loved of all Britain's monarchs. Her longevity, devotion to her role as figurehead of an empire, and recovery from the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert won her a unique status as the ever-present symbol of 19th-century Britain, an era of tremendous political, industrial, and social changes. https://www.worldhistory.org/Queen_Victoria/ #QueenVictoria #BritishMonarchy #HouseOfHanover #History
