Per the wikipedia article on Terence McSweeney: His body lay in St George's Cathedral, Southwark in London where 30,000 people filed past it.[9] Fearing large-scale demonstrations in Dublin, the authorities diverted his coffin directly to Cork and his funeral there on 31 October attracted huge crowds.

It is only 3 miles from St. George's Cathedral Southwark to Euston Station.

John Francis Hylan www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6233903

The curved detail on the top edge of the wall places Mayor Hylan at the Polo Grounds, as he poses prior to throwing out a ceremonial first pitch. (See comment by Jon (LOC P&P) below). The date inscribed (in reverse) on the bottom of image reads "10/6/24," which would make the occasion Game 3 of the 1924 World Series, between the New York Giants and Washington Senators. The first game of the series to be played at the Polo Grounds. The Giants would defeat the Senators that day, by a score of 6-4, but the Senators would ultimately win the World Series (their first World Series Championship) in seven games. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_World_Series

Thanks TVL1970. The New York Times article published on October, 7th, 1924 says Hylan posed for the photographers with a ball, but didn't actually throw it.
