The inscription on Admiralty Arch close to Trafalgar Square in London reads: "Anno decimo Edwardi Septimi Regis Victoriae Reginae cives gratissimi MDCCCCX."
Anno decimo Edwardi Septimi Regis means in the tenth year of King Edward the seventh. Cives gratissimi means the most grateful citizens. Victoriae Reginae is in the dative and means to or for Queen Victoria.
