Edward VII (Albert Edward; 9 November 1841 – 6 May 1910) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions and Emperor of India from 22 January 1901 until his death in 1910.

He was the first British monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which was renamed the House of Windsor by his son, George V.

The monument to King Edward VII, by Louis-Philippe Hébert, was erected in Phillips Square, in face of Morgan's, in 1914. The monument was unveiled by the Governor General of Canada, with a huge crowd in attendance, on October 1, 1914. Edward VII visited Montreal in 1860, when he was still the Prince of Wales, to open the Victoria Bridge.
