By the time of Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, the British Empire was near its apogee. It was the world's first true "superpower," its tentacles reaching into every corner of society, culture, finance, and politics around the globe. The celebration, in accordance with Victoria's wishes, was reserved - and moral - consisting of a procession and thanksgiving service in Westminster Abbey. As Victoria's Diamond Jubilee approached, Victoria surpassed George III as the longest-reigning monarch in English or Scottish (or most anywhere else) history. Again, she insisted that the Jubilee be a festival of the Empire rather than her rule. In early January 1901, the queen regnant Victoria was feeling "weak and unwell"; she died quietly on 22 January, as dignified and reserved in death as in life.
