Stories from St Paul's: Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee

On the 22nd June 1897, a Service of Thanksgiving was held at St Paul’s for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. However, because of the Queen’s frail health, it was not held inside the Cathedral, but outside at the foot of the West steps. Find out more about the service and this momentous day in this fourth Jubilee themed podcast episode. Produced and presented by Douglas Anderson.
