  Wystan, Thanks for your efforts throughout the photographs which document the National Memorial Service of May 11, 1914. We will be able to better link the related images and expand the descriptions, including a date where one is not yet included.

This was in London, the procession was from Dorchester House, Park Lane (Reid's London residence as ambassador) to Victoria Station, from where a special train went to the docks at Portsmouth.

  Thanks! We'll add the location to the source data and reload the description.

  According to the report in The Times (of London) the coffin was carried on a gun carriage with an escort of Scots Guards at a slow march.
