Presentation of Addresses to Her Majesty, at the Station Hotel, Hull, 1854. Queen Victoria visits Yorkshire. 'At one end of a spacious room in the hotel, elaborately fitted up for the occasion, was an elevated dais covered with purple, upon which was placed a throne richly carved and gilt, flanked by chairs of state for the Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales. Over the dais was suspended a canopy, the outer covering and draperies of which were composed of crimson, and the interior lining of white satin, with a crown surmounting...the Queen and Royal Family, with the Earl of Aberdeen and the members of the suite...took their stand upon the dais. Here the Mayor was introduced, and had the honour of kissing hands...Court etiquette did not allow any of the addresses to be read; and, from their length, perhaps this omission was the less to be regretted'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
