Entered Parliament as an MP in 1886. He spent much of the next eight years travelling around the world. He served in various government roles before being appointed Viceroy of India in 1899. In 1903, a vast durbar was held in Delhi to celebrate the accession of King Edward VII. Planned entirely by the viceroy, this occasion has often been seen as the peak of the British Empire in India.On his return to England Curzon served as leader of the House of Lords, a member of Lloyd-George's war cabinet, and as Foreign Secretary after the First World War. He was responsible for devising the Remembrance Day service, one of his most lasting achievements.
