Queen Victoria (1819-1901) was the queen of the United Kingdom and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death in 1901.

She was Queen whose reign was replete with elegance, poise and widely celebrated affirmation.

Despite her dimunitive stature, being barely five feet tall, Queen Victoria was a giant in shaping the modern monarchy, leaving her mark on what has come to be globally known as the ‘Victorian Times’ which lasted 63 years and 216 days.

No wonder that the British colonialist named the popular Lagos island after her.
