Queen Victoria is pictured here with her grandson, the Duke of York, later to be King George V, and his bride to be Princess Mary, on the day their wedding in 1893 was announced. The young royal couple would later visit Dewsbury and Batley in 1916, and their granddaughter, the present Queen Elizabeth, would visit Dewsbury in 1953. On both Royal occasions there was great rejoicing in the district.
