King and Queen leaving St. George's Chapel (LOC)

    George V and May of Teck. Crowned 22nd June 1911 at Westminster Abbey. So this is not the Coronation if it is at St George's Chapel, Windsor. It doesn't really look grand enough for a coronation. George V bears a striking resemblance to his first cousin, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.

    The robes are those of the Order of the Garter. Assuming that this was taken on the same day as www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163490798/ it was on June 10, 1911, when the Prince of Wales (future Edward VIII) was invested with the Order of the Garter. According to query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A00E6D71031E233A... this was seen as the beginning of the coronation celebrations.

    This is definitely the Garter Ceremony, not the Coronation.

    What a fascinating photo ! King George with his German wife as a Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter !
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks to all for your observations and comments! This does appear to be June 10, 1911, after the Prince of Wales (Edward VIII) was invested with the Order of the Garter in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. It was linked to the series of state functions leading up to George V's coronation on June 22, 1911 at Westminster Abbey. We will add more information to the descriptive data to make it clearer which event is being shown.

Canada - Britain's Granary

    It has to be after January 1901 - otherwise it would be just Queen. You can also see an "EA" on the arch - so it's definitely referring to Edward and Alexandra.

    Didn't we have a pro-Canada parade like this before, in Belfast?

    This one looks coronation-ish to me. Which means it could be London. (From looking through what feels like half the Clonbrock collection the other day for the parade.)

    Where would you get a hill like that in London?
