Last Days of Glory traces the dying days of Queen Victoria -from Christmas 1900 through to her funeral six weeks later -brilliantly capturing the intense drama in the royal household, where a beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother lay mortally ill, and the extraordinary fear and anguish beyond, in the whole nation and throughout the world.
