During my sixth year 1897, Queen Victoria was celebrating her Golden Jubilee year. Her Majesty visited Ashton and we all saw her. She was riding in a landau, dressed in black and white. We stood on Stamford Street, Ashton and crowds of people stood on either side and as she passed she waved and we waved our flags. We wore red white and blue rosettes. We had been given a holiday to go and see the Queen. The day after when we went back to school we were taken to the Old Hall Chapel and we sang “Rule Brittannia” [sic] and God Save the Queen and various hymns. |
