It is calculated that considerably over a million persons saw the Royal
procession, but so admirable was the conduct and the temper of the
vast multitude that the accidents along the six miles of route were
comparatively insignificant, and no loss of life was recorded.
At night the Queen gave a State Banquet to her royal and distinguished
guests at Buckingham Palace. London was brilliantly illuminated with
gas and electric devices, and on all the highest eminences of England
bonfires were lighted, forming a ring of fire round the coast. More
than a hundred of these joyous beacons could be counted from the
Malvern heights, and some seventy blazed on the heights discernible
from the top of the Crystal Palace.
