noon
The King was hung in effigy and his lay figure cremated in the public kiln at Lincoln 's Inn Fields . Socialism became rampant . A rabble of the lowest orders of the people invaded Hyde Park and the other public gardens , making day and night hideous with their orgies . The famous Albert memorial statue was blown to shivers by dynamite at high noon , and unbridled license became the watchword of the masses . Such anarchy had never been known in England . Even the government , who at first were inclined to suffer the demonstration against the Royalists to gather head , grew alarmed . Absolute revolution was imminent , and resolute measures had to be taken .
