Apologies on this one if the sound in the title sequence is funky.
Queen Victoria was an iconic figure whose reign represents an entire epoch. She ruled over one of the greatest eras of scientific, industrial, and social change in both British and international history. Under her gaze, England became the superpower of the 1800s. Her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years on the throne, was a glittering affair.
In today's video, we see the Jubilee through the eyes of a choir boy at St. Paul's, who just happened to be famous author Russell Thorndike, and from the perspective of the great queen herself.
Hello and welcome to The Past Said It Better! A table read of primary sources from history!
