The Victoria Memorial, which stands outside Buckingham Palace at the end of The Mall in London, was unveiled in a ceremony on the 16th of May, 1911.
The monument honours Queen Victoria, whose long reign had come to an end with her death a decade earlier.
The ceremony was presided over by both by King George V and his first cousin, Wilhelm II of Germany. Both men were grandsons of Victoria.
Following the ceremony it was revealed the memorial’s sculpture, Thomas Brock, was to be knighted.
