Opening of Parliament A Glorious Royal Procession In London
The London fog did not deter thousands as the Queen and King of Prussia traveled from Buckingham Palace to the House of Lords. Spectators packed Parliament Street and St James's Street, while guards maintained order and the royal party received enthusiastic cheers and a grand public spectacle. The Queen appeared pale but dignified, Albert at her side, as the ceremony proceeded with a lavish march through a transformed chamber and a ceremonial reading of the speech outlining finances, trade, and reforms.
