A brawl breaks out in the pub after Kat Slater ( Jessie Wallace) pushes Karen Taylor ( Lorraine Stanley) over a table after the pair argue as it is revealed that Mo Harris ( Laila Morse) tried to con people out of money by faking the death of Kat Moon ( Jessie Wallace). A bar stool is thrown out of one of the windows.
The public distribution of approved photographs of Queen Victoria after 1861 shows how the collecting and exchange of photography encouraged bonds of public empathy. However, this was achieved not only by images of Victoria herself, but also in the circulation of photography and its use in mourning more generally. These intersections between public connection and photography are exemplified by a national disaster which occurred just six weeks after Albert’s death. On 16 January 1862 a series of tragic events occurred at the New Hartley Colliery, near Newcastle upon Tyne. When part of the pumping mechanism fell into the pit shaft, over two hundred miners were trapped. National attention was captured by this disaster, and for the Queen the agony suffered by the wives and families of the trapped miners was painfully resonant. On 22 January she sent a telegram stating, ‘The Queen is most anxious to hear that there are hopes of saving the poor people in the colliery, for whom her heart bleeds.’ 29 This monumental portrait bust of the Queen-Empress is not only an important icon made at the apogee of British power but a complex and hugely sympathetic image. It is also a tour de force of marble carving, a medium which Gilbert rarely employed. Although the bust appears highly naturalistic, Gilbert did not work from the life but entirely from photographs, using his own mother as a model for the drapery, saying at the time: “One was Queen of my country – the other Queen of my heart.” The virtuoso rendering of the different textures of skin, hair, drapery and jewellery is unparalleled in nineteenth-century British sculpture, as is the empathetic carving of the sad, careworn and introverted expression of the ageing monarch, whose Jubilee also marked her return to public life after a period of prolonged mourning for Prince Albert, who had died 1861. Key events in The Queen Victoria [ edit ] The Queen Victoria's bust of Queen Victoria (pictured on display at the Elstree and Borehamwood Museum) was used from 1993 until 2010, and from 2012 onwards. 1980sSir Peter Luff, Chair of NHMF, said: “A monarch who defined one of the most important eras of British history, captured by one of the era’s leading sculptors – that’s what makes this bust of Queen Victoria by Sir Albert Gilbert so special. Its loss from these shores was unthinkable and that’s why the National Heritage Memorial was so pleased to be able to step in with the final piece of funding, ensuring remains in the UK for future generations to study and enjoy” Notes to editors About the Fitzwilliam Museum George IV's only daughter, Princess Charlotte was a popular princess, seen as a fresh hope to come after her unpopular father. The nation rejoiced at her wedding to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg in 1816.

Benjamin Cheverton (1796-1876) was the son of a farmer and a small landowner. During the 1820s he perfected a machine capable of producing reduced miniature versions, usually in ivory, of full-size sculptures. This had been invented by his mentor, John Isaac Hawkins, and was similar to machines devised by the engineer and inventor James Watt (1736-1819). Cheverton’s machine was up and running by early 1828. He first showed products at exhibitions, and issued items which might have popular appeal, such as busts of Shakespeare or Milton. Later he took commission from owners of busts or other sculptures who desired small copies. His ivories were produced to a high standard, and he maintained that the machine itself was capable of making objects of such quality.
The decision to defer the export licence followed a recommendation to the DCMS in 2017 by the Reviewing Committee On The Export Of Works Of Art And Objects Of Cultural Interest (RCEWA) who objected on all three of its Waverley criteria. RCEWA member Lowell Libson explained at the time, “Sir Alfred Gilbert, a leading but mercurial light in the British ‘New Sculpture’ movement, is now regarded as one of the greatest European sculptors of the period. This monumental portrait bust of the Queen-Empress is not only an important icon made at the apogee of British power but a complex and hugely sympathetic image. It is also a tour de force of marble carving, a medium which Gilbert rarely employed.” In 1879 Boehm was selected to create a new depiction of Victoria that could be adapted for the coinage–even though the queen marked her 60th birthday that same year, some British coins still showed her as she appeared forty years previously. Boehm gave only intermittent attention to the project, and it took years before it came to fruition. The queen finally gave approval in early 1887, and the new coinage was prepared. Some of the reverse designs for the coinage were changed at the same time, depicting heraldic imagery and engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon. During an argument with Grant Mitchell ( Ross Kemp) whilst confronting him about the affair, Tiffany Mitchell ( Martine McCutcheon) she attempts to leave but falls down the stairs and falsely accuses Grant of pushing her.

The original marble sculptures from which this Parian bust and its pair, a bust of Prince Albert (museum no. 7888-1862), were copied were made by the Italian sculptor Carlo Marochetti (1805-1867) and were shown at the Royal Academy in 1851. These Parian versions were shown by Minton at the London International Exhibition of 1862, at which an entire section was devoted to 'Parian and Ivory'.
Bianca Butcher ( Patsy Palmer) gives birth to her son Liam Butcher in the pub on Christmas Day 1998, assisted by Grant Mitchell ( Ross Kemp).By the 1860s family photographs had become quite common in Victorian England. Successful photographic experiments had first been carried out in the 1820s but the ability to photograph people did not arrive until the work of Louis Daguerre and Henry Fox Talbot in the 1830s. Even though photography was now familiar it was still a slow process. Cameras were large and heavy and had long exposure times (the time the film had to be exposed to light) meaning that people had to stay very still throughout a session with a professional photographer. Only with the invention of simple hand held cameras in the early 1900s could ordinary people take their own ‘snaps’. Dyer, G. P. (1995). "Gold, Silver and the Double Florin" (PDF).

The statue of her, created by her daughter Princess Louise and unveiled in 1893, still stands outside the palace today. This eventful day, 1897 has opened, and I pray God to help and protect me as He has hitherto done these sixty long eventful years! I feel sad at the new losses I have sustained, especially the last one of our beloved Liko! God will surely help me on! How well I remember this day sixty years ago when I was called from my bed by dear Mama to receive the news of my accession!
