On the Queen’s birthdays [24 May] we used to go & serenade her under her bedroom window & one occasion (a wet morning) we sang the glee “Hail smiling mother” which seemed rather out of place as it was raining. […] I commenced this [memoir] by relating how in 1850 we sang at the Castle before the Queen & also whenever she came to S.Georges, & that I also was one of those who used to serenade her on her birthday mornings & this year [1901] I have had the privilege of being present on the Saturday & Monday at her funeral & on the Monday especially, visions of my happy School days rose before me.
