THIS DAY IN HISTORY JAN. 22

     On January 22, 1901 Queen Victoria (Queen of Great Britain and Ireland) died after reigning for 63 years.  She was the 4th longest among longest-reigning monarchs and the longest for queens.  When the love of her life, Prince Albert, died in 1861, Victoria's grief was so great that she did not appear in public for three years and did not open Parliament until 1866.
