Newest Review: ... Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone for the building that was originally going to be called The Corporation of the Hall of Arts and sciences however eventually it was decided to rename it the Royal Albert Hall. The building was completed in 1870 and it was officially opened in March 1871. It was said that Queen Victoria was so overcome at the opening ceremony that it was Prince Edward (Later Edward VII) who announced 'The Queen declares this hall is now open.'
