At Buckingham Palace the Queen plans her part in the day’s procession. United States Envoy Whitelaw Reid and General Miles arrive as envoys gather in the quadrangle. Crown Prince Danko of Montenegro and grand royals, Austrians, Hungarians, and Egypt’s prince arrive in splendor. The Queen greets her people via telegraphic message, then ascends to begin the procession.
The pageant spanned three sections reaching St Pauls with Victoria viewing from a palace window. Mounted contingents from Cape and Queensland led premiers including Laurier Seddon Sprigg Nelson and Whiteway amid allied troops and foreign envoys as Washington Post March played.
The procession features varied colonial contingents led by Canada’s infantry and Rhodesian forces, with Cyprus Zaptiehs and Dyaks from Borneo drawing interest. Dominions police from Sierra Leone to Northwest Mounted Police receive warm applause as London praises colonial prowess.
The second procession passed Constitution Hill fifty minutes after the colonials, forming at Eaton Square and Sloane Street in a lavish display of Britain's war strength. Guardsmen in scarlet, blue and gold moved past the palace as the royal procession approached with aides, nobility, and colonial units, culminating in the Queen’s appearance.
