    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 !

    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.

    Two barons and a baroness judging by the two rows of spots on each cape - Lord & Lady Clonbrock and another, unidentified, baron I suppose.

    definitely no barefoot children in this one ... not even a dog

    Saturday, 9 August 1902? Coronation of Queen Alexandra and King Edward VII...
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    Both of the peers carry their coronets in their hands, but the peer on the left also appears to be wearing a chain, possibly indicative of membership of one of the orders of chivalry.

Coronation of King George VI - marking the occasion

    Photographed on The Mall, Armagh, looking north the small red-bricked masonic hall is left of the tall spire of the first Presbyterian church. Even though he has obscured his face with a salute the Deputy Lieutenant is more than likely H.B Armstrong of Dean's Hill Armagh.

    We've now flipped the photo and replaced it - thanks for pointing that out NIreland eye.
