The Royal Review Of 12,000 Territorials in Worsley Park: The Visit Of The King And Queen To Manchester - After The Consecration Of The Colours: The King Touching The Staffs Before The Colours Were Handed Over To The Officers Appointed To Receive Them, 1909. '...his Majesty [King Edward VII] reviewed the East Lancashire Territorial Division, some 12,000 strong, in Worsley Park, which is about six miles west of [Manchester]. On the arrival of the King and Queen, in whose carriage were Mr. Haldane and Lord Derby, the Royal Salute was given and the National Anthem was played. His Majesty then inspected the force. This done, an altar of drums was erected, and the Bishop of Manchester consecrated the colours. These colours were then drooped before the King, who touched them: after that they were handed to the officers appointed to receive them. The march past followed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
