Description: | George V succeeded his father Edward VII in 1910 and was crowned on 22nd June 1911. The procession during his coronation was one of the last major parades in London before the First World War. In this photograph, a column of Yeomen of the Guard can be seen entering Trafalgar Square from The Mall. Behind them is the newly-completed Admiralty Arch, a government office building constructed over the entrance to The Mall. Admiralty Arch was commissioned in 1910 by Edward VII in memory of his mother, Queen Victoria, although Edward never lived to see its completion. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | London and Middlesex Archaeological Society | Subjects: | Power and Politics Identity and Icons | Temporal: | c1911 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
