    In 1862, seven prominent architects submitted designs for the memorial to Prince Albert. Queen Victoria eventually selected an ambitious scheme by George Gilbert Scott (1811-1878). His design was in the 'Gothic Revival' style, characterised by pointed arches and rich decoration.
    Standing at 54m (176 ft) tall, the memorial combines lavish materials including bronze and marble, glittering gold leaf, vivid enamel and brightly-coloured gemstones. Queen Victoria was so impressed with Gilbert Scott's work that she awarded him a knighthood.
