Possibly decorated for the coronation of George V or the "royal progress" the following day (June 23, 1911). See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163698472/ for a photo of the progress nearby.

All the vehicles here are horse drawn. The last horse drawn omnibus in London was withdrawn in October 1911 but I think it odd that there are no motor vehicles at all in shot in 1911. This could just as easily be Edward VII's coronation decoration in 1902

I believe the building in the background is the Old Admiralty and the parade ground itself is the Horse Guards Parade.

Interesting detail: about 2/3 of the way to the right, in front of the line of guards and just behind the foreground figure, there is a second mounted figure who appears to be Indian. He's wearing a decorated turban of some kind, has a moustache, and doesn't look particularly old. You can see him in the medium size, but he stands out more in the larger sizes. Someone has tagged this "raj" -- so I can't be the only one who's noticed. I wonder who he is? Also more apparent in the larger size: masses of people standing on a balcony in the background, and at almost every window!

Well spotted CM! Isn't that interesting. I'd guess he was some visiting dignitary but I don't have the faintest idea who.

My guess is that they are from India/Hindustan.

Just a hint of the zeppelin. It's refreshing to see the curiousity of the several viewers 'frozen' :)

This must be the future George V. If it was really shot in 1910, it must be early in the year, as his father died and he became king-emperor in May. It's possible that this was shot after George V ascended the throne, in which case the PoW would be the young man in the checkered cap, the future Edward VIII, who was but 16 in 1910.
