The Queen seems impressed as she views the skeleton of the Irish Giant, 8ft 2in Charles Byrne, in the Hunterian Museum during her visit to the new buildings of the Royal College of Surgeons of England at Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. Charles Byrne was born in 1761 in Drummullan in what was then northeast Tyrone. He moved to London aged 21 and found fame and riches. Charles Byrne died aged just 22, his final wish that he be buried at sea rather than have his body given to science, was clearly not granted. The new Hunterian Museum, made possible by a gift from the Wolfson Foundation, is the most notable feature of the new buildings. The Queen, visitor and honorary Fellow of the College, opened the final phase of the new buildings and was accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh (not pictured) who is also an Honorary Fellow. She was wearing a coat of donkey brown velvet with a fur collar of matching colour trimmed with white fur, and a hat of white tulle trimmed with white fur.
