Belfast, Northern Ireland - June 5, 2018: Statue of Queen Victoria which stands in front of Belfast City Hall. The statue was created by the sculptor Sir Thomas Brock to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. It was unveiled by her son, King Edward VII in 1903. Carved from Sicilian marble and standing 11 feet high, this memorial is accompanied on each side by life size bronze figures representing spinning and shipbuilding (two key industries in Belfast's growth) In 1888 Queen Victoria granted Belfast the status of the city and it was agreed that a new city hall was required to reflect this new status. City Hall opened its doors on the first of August 1906, at a time of unprecedented prosperity and industrial might for the city. The new City Hall was designed by Alfred Brumwell Thomas in the Baroque Revival style and constructed in Portland stone. The building cost £369,000 to complete, the equivalent around 128 million pounds today.
