    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.

    The Prince of Wales was invested with the Order of the Garter on June 10, 1911. See www.heraldica.org/topics/orders/garterlist.htm and query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A00E6D71031E233A... King Manuel II was the exiled King of Portugal, living in England after the revolution in October 1910.
  • lafb_lib_illcirc said:
    The Duke of Connaught was, at the time of the photo, the last surviving son of Queen Victoria. His nephew, George V, was King at the time. King Manuel was very close to the British royals, as was his family, as both the Portuguese & British royal houses came from the Coburg family and were cousins.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    swang and lafb lib illcirc: Thanks for the additional information. We are going to add more details to the descriptive data and reload it to Flickr.
