At Northern entrance to Hyde Park Sydney NSW, statue of Prince Albert

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

  This statue (1866) and the one of Queen Victoria (1888 so not around at the time this was taken) have been moved around Queen's Square like a couple of chess pieces. This is its original position, shown on a Henry King photo - More details at www.publicartaroundtheworld.com/Prince_Albert_Statue.html

  beachcomber australia Great thanks! Good to know what the full inscription reads.

Instrument of Abdication

from The National Archives UK

• Spookydel said:

  Edward abdicated from the throne on 11 December 1936 and in his speach to the nation famously said "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love."
  
  Although he was legally entitled to marry Wallis Simpson, Edward knew that if he did, the current Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, would resign and throw the country into a general election, thus removing the political impartiality of the monarchy.
  
  He is the only monarch of either Britain or the Commonwealth who has chosen to Abdicate, and at 325 days, his reign is one of the shortest in any of his countries.
  
  Edward was also never crowned king.
