Thanks to Nick for finding this and for his creative adding of very appropriate Elgar music.
The first sequence shows her in a carriage at Balmoral in 1896 Was the highlander the famous John Brown her favorite servant. One of the commenters on the video noted that the couple alongside the carriage may be the famous Nicholas and Alexandra the last czar of Russia and his famous wife. There was no documentation one way or the other.
The second shows the Queen riding down Pall Mall in a carriage in the Jubilee celebrations in 1897.
Please visit Nick’s You Tube site for more information and take a look at the comments on the video also.
