I with some of the others sang at the opening of the Crystal Palace in 1851 [1 May] & it was one of the grandest sights I have ever seen. It was opened by the Queen & the Prince Consort [Victoria and Albert] & I can fancy I see them walking up the transept as I am writing this [in 1901]. Dr Elvey went with us but the music was conducted by Sir Geo. Smart, the organist of the Chapel Royal who was dressed in the gorgeous uniform as worn at that Chapel. I also saw Dr John Goss organist of St Pauls & Dr Turle of Westminster Abbey there. |
