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.

Railings with trees on both sides of the road, distinctive building behind...

It was Thursday 5th of June 1969 according to www.calendar-12.com/holidays/corpus_christi/1969

The flats are still there, but I don't see the railing.

cute kids

Awesome

The children look to be in the 3 to 8 year old range, that would make them 51 to 56 years olds now, I wonder how long before someone recognises them?

Captain Tonio Silvo Resnati, the famous Italian aviator who fell to his death at Mineola, New York. www.earlyaviators.com/eresnati.htm

A historic look at old New York . I see the 48 Star Flag of our United States, but also I see what looks like a 45 Star Flag? I suppose it was perfectly fine to use an older flag .

I don't see the earlier flag, but the camera shook on this one and the negative has deteriorated, so it's hard to be sure.

Art Siegel I agree. Not counting the banner ,its the fourth flag from the right I believe is the older flag
