The Admiralty Arch is reminiscent of an ancient triumphal arch, although it is only around 100 years old. The Admiralty Arch was built in 1910 by order of King Edward VII and was a gift to his mother, Queen Victoria. Today, the triumphal arch is often used for the journey from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace on ceremonial occasions.
