    George I, King of Hellenes, was a Danish prince who was elected king by the Greek people in 1863. He ruled for 50 years but was assassinated during the Balkan Wars on March 18, 1913. He was the grandfather of England's Prince Phillip. He lay in state in Greece for five days, so the services here would have coincided with his funeral in Greece. I couldn't find a photo of a Greek Orthodox church in New York to match this. But I did find that the Holy Trinity Church on 72nd Street burned down in 1927. Perhaps this is that church.

King Geo. at Trooping of Colors, May 1911 (LOC)

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

    I think so too, they still Troop the Colour there.

    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!
  • br@mbly said:
    Well spotted CM! Isn't that interesting. I'd guess he was some visiting dignitary but I don't have the faintest idea who.
  • flawless turn said:
    My guess is that they are from India/Hindustan.

    Queen Mary's shamrock brooch - "One of my favorite royal shamrock jewels, Queen Mary’s Emerald Shamrock Brooch, now belongs to Prince and Princess Michael of Kent. The jewel was likely one of Mary’s wedding gifts, perhaps the trefoil brooch offered to her by the Royal St George Yacht Club in Dublin. The brooch was later passed along to Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, and then to her younger son." From - www.thecourtjeweller.com/2020/03/royal-shamrock-brooches....

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I think we might require a horizontal flip (as the actress said to the bishop). The King's medals, the Queen's brooch, Mr Redmond's coat etc.
