When the Golden ( or possibly the Diamond) Jubilee of Queen Victoria was being planned to take place at the Cathedral, it was suggested to the Queen that this statue was rather in the way, and could be moved for the duration of the Jubilee.<br />"Move Queen Anne?" replied Victoria - "certainly not. Why, one day somebody might want to move ME !!"<br /><br />Queen Anne had 17 children, none of whom survived. Hence the Hanoverian succession. She was buried in a square coffin.David Damanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409591480349323761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-86602887370340736532009-12-28T07:43:56.795+00:002009-12-28T07:43:56.795+00:00David Damant

Perhaps it should be positioned elsewhere?David Damanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409591480349323761noreply@blogger.com
