    Pathé news on youtube: Intertitle: "LORD MAYOR of CORK DEAD. Cork - was outwardly calm on receipt of the news - but military patrolled the City unceasingly". Scenes in London, Dublin and Cork. The Mayor, Tomas (Terence) MacSwiney died after a hunger strike, he is succeeded by Mr. O'Callaghan. M/S of the coffin being carried through the street past a large crowd held back by Policemen. A bishop and two priests walk into shot, the bishop sprinkles holy water on the coffin. The pallbearers lift the coffin, covered in the Republican flag, into the back of a hearse. M/S of solemn faced men, including one monk, standing in a row behind the hearse, leading the funeral cortege. M/S of the horse drawn hearse going passing through the streets of Cork, men in civilian dress march in an orderly fashion behind it . One of them men shouts orders and they do an about turn and march in a different direction to escort another horse drawn hearse (possibly a mourner's carriage). High angled L/S of the funeral procession, looking over the heads of a dense crowd of mourners. High angled L/S of the procession rounding a bend in the road, lots of policemen walk alongside the cortege. People standing on the pavement join the tail of the cortege. M/S of a procession of alter boys, choristers and priests. Various C/Us of the pallbearers walking with the coffin and the chief mourners. L/S looking down a crowd lined street in a Cork. We see the pallbearers taking the coffin into the church. More general scenes of the funeral procession and vast crowds of mourners. Some shots are possibly of a Sinn Fein procession in London. M/S of a delegation of men coming down the drive way of a prison - probably Brixton Prison where MacSwiney died.

    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.

    I wonder is that really a British military uniform... It could be the uniform of a particular office such as a Lord Lieutenant etc. Also, the medals are unusual in that each appears to have a circular rosette on the ribbon - Could they represent orders? The badge at his neck could be that of the French Légion d'honneur, but the star on his chest is different. Perhaps he is a diplomat?

    A detailed pdf document at some library or other. Arthur Patrick O’Brien was born in London on 25 September 1872 ... In early 1919, partly on Collins’ suggestion, Ó Briain was appointed the envoy of Dáil Eireann in Britain ... In March 1923, however, Ó Briain and many others were arrested and deported to Ireland. ...From 1924 to 1932, Ó Briain was effectively absent from public life ... To the surprise of many, he was appointed Irish Minister to France and Belgium in June 1935; a position he held until September 1938 when he retired.

    I'm guessing this is 1935-38, and the other guy is French or Belgian.
