HOME :: QUEEN VICTORIA

The day Queen Victoria came to visit!

In 1997 we celebrated our Ninetieth birthday here at Stainer & Bell. To mark the special occasion we were honoured by the presence of Queen Victoria herself!

Here are a few photographs of the day just to prove to you that it really took place!

She mingled,...

kissed the children,...

and met 'the common man'
(also known as organist & composer Nigel Ogden).

Meanwhile, Prince Edward
got to know some of the guests better.

Finally, she bade a fond
farewell to the S&B Directors
