New series 1/4. The News of the World for Sunday 26 June 1887. Readers would have pored over the paper's impressively detailed reports of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations. Peter Snow walks the route of the procession that took Queen Victoria from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey for a Service of Thanksgiving. Along the way, a look at the new (and ridiculed) Jubilee coinage, the huge market for souvenirs, and how Torquay celebrated the great day. How far did the whole event re-establish a link between Victoria and her people after the extended mourning for Prince Albert?
