Tolling of St Pauls Bell Ends Sea of Hats in London Crowd
The Queen ordered the great bell of St Pauls to toll for the memory of an English sovereign after President Garfields death. Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill became a sea of hats as traffic paused and thousands waited. When the bell began, hats were removed, revealing heads in mourning for the uncrowned monarch.
