The pictures formed a very , fine series of viewß of the historical event, taken at different stages in the ■rtf Ogress of the procession, and enabled one to appreciate to some extent the excitement the pageant aroused on the part of the myriade of people assembled to see- 1t pass by. There were shown views of the procession passing through ihe new Admiralty arch and along -Piccadilly and Pall Mall. In the procession could be seen the visiting princes and potentates, the colonial lepresentatives from oversea, promi- ■► nent men at Home, including Lord - Roberts and Lord Kitchener, who rode immediately behind the great State * -carriage in.which sat the King and \ } Queen.
