The virtual tour of the collection continues this week with the end of the Victorian age and the advent of the Edwardian era. We have a war in South Africa and the establishment of the Irish Guards. The Director covers the death of Queen Victoria and her funeral arrangements and then the creation of the last of the Foot Guard regiments, the Welsh Guards - all told through the exhibits on display in the museum.
