Here Victoria and Albert enter Paris, through a grand triumphal arch and amidst cheering crowds, at the start of their ten-day sojourn in August 1855. But after delays to their journey it was in fact nearing twilight when the procession took place, and many spectators were unhappy after a long wait to see the British royal family.
