The procession of Queen Victoria to Westminster Abbey for the Golden Jubilee service, celebrating 50 years of her reign, was painted by John Charlton (RCIN 405285). In this painting Lockhart records the moment when the Archbishop of Canterbury read the prayers and pronounced the Benediction. The Queen recorded in her Journal that she 'sat alone … where I sat forty-nine years ago and received the homage of the Princes and Peers [recorded by Sir George Hayter (RCIN 404877)] … My robes were beautifully draped on the chair'.
