King Edward VII May 1910
laying in State at Westminister Hall
Edward VII was born on November 9, 1841, the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He married Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863 and they had three sons and three daughters. Queen Victoria would not involve Edward, Prince of Wales, in official government matters and Edward chose to indulge in a wild social life becoming implicated more than once in divorce cases.
Edward succeeded to the throne upon Victorias death in 1901, the original Coronation date being set for 26th June 1902, but, due to illness, it was postponed until 9th August 1902.
Despite his reputation, Edward VII was committed to his regal role. He played an active part in foreign policy, for example, and despite his social indiscretions was popular as monarch.
Edward died at Sandringham on May 6, 1910, after a series of heart attacks. His coffin lay in state in Westminster Hall before being taken through the streets of London and on to Windsor by train. The funeral was held in St Georges Chapel where he was buried on May 20th 1910
