Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Ireland: arrival of the Prince and Princess at St. Patrick's Cathedral, [Dublin], 1868. 'The ceremony of investing and installing the Prince of Wales as a Knight of the Irish Order of St. Patrick was performed...with great pomp and splendour. The Prince and Princess, with the Marquis of Abercorn, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, went in procession,...escorted by a detachment of Lancers and a squadron of Carabiniers. The first carriage was occupied by the Lord Lieutenant, the Marchioness of Abercorn, Captain Stewart, and Sir H. Pelly. Next came, escorted by a detachment of the 10th (Prince of Wales's Own) Hussars, the Royal state carriage, containing their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess...The reception...was more cordial, if possible, than on the occasion of their arrival in Dublin...Each carriage was preceded and followed by detachments of cavalry, and the occupants were loudly cheered by the crowd...The different uniforms of the soldiery, the many-coloured dresses of the ladies, the gorgeous liveries of the grooms and servants, the splendid horses, drawing magnificent coaches, and the bright sunshine over all, made up a brilliant scene'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
